Towards the Ethical Art Museum Gareth Harris

A pithy, up-to-date analysis of the ethical dilemmas facing art museums in the post-Covid age and in the wake of anti-discrimination protests, offering examples of best practice
Museums are under fire currently from all quarters on account of a wide range of ethical issues, from their association with morally dubious regimes to the questionable provenance of objects in their collections and the perceived lack of inclusivity of their exhibitions. This book examines why the art museum has become a focus for society’s ethical concerns in the 21st century, whether it is ever possible for a museum to be a neutral space, and what a policy framework for a more ethical museum could look like.
