In the context of critical museology museums are questioning their social role defining the
museum as a site for knowledge exchange and participation in creating links between past and
present. Museum education has evolved as a practice in its own right questioning expanding
and transforming exhibitions and institutions. How does museum work change if we conceive of
curating and education as an integrated practice? This question is addressed by international
contributors from different types of museums. For anyone interested in the future of museums
it offers insights into the diversity of positions and experiences of translating the »grand
designs« of museology into practice.
