Art museums today face the challenge of opening themselves up as institutions to a changing society. This publication offers new perspectives on museological trends that are developing in various countries and cultures. Through increasingly flexible, inclusive and unexpected museum typologies, institutions aim to give their visitors greater access to art. The essays define the role of the museum as a medium of social change, as a protagonist in an education process and as a technologically innovative platform. Art historians, but also practitioners from the museum world – including curators, architects and psychologists – examine what is expected of art museums using case studies and against the background of the humanities and social sciences.

Kunstmuseen stehen heute vor der Herausforderung, sich als Institutionen einer sich wandelnden Gesellschaft zu öffnen. Diese Publikation bietet neue Perspektiven auf museologische Trends, die sich in verschiedenen Ländern und Kulturen entwickeln. Durch zunehmend flexible, integrative und unerwartete Museumstypologien wollen die Institutionen ihren Besuchern einen besseren Zugang zur Kunst ermöglichen. Die Essays definieren die Rolle des Museums als Medium des sozialen Wandels, als Protagonist in einem Bildungsprozess und als technologisch innovative Plattform. Kunsthistoriker, aber auch Praktiker aus der Museumswelt - darunter Kuratoren, Architekten und Psychologen - untersuchen anhand von Fallstudien und vor dem Hintergrund der Geistes- und Sozialwissenschaften, was von Kunstmuseen erwartet wird.
