About this ebook
Museum Power Struggles unveils the intricate power dynamics within museums, institutions often perceived as neutral cultural spaces. The book sheds light on the political maneuvering and financial strategies that shape museum operations, dictating which art is displayed and how these institutions are funded. Revealing the hidden forces at play, the book challenges the notion of museums as objective presenters of culture, exposing their active role in shaping cultural discourse.
The book offers a critical look into how museum boards influence institutional priorities and how wealthy donors impact collection development. The book begins by establishing a theoretical framework, drawing from organizational behavior, political science, and cultural economics. It then presents case studies to demonstrate how power struggles manifest in practice. By examining governance structures, funding models, and exhibition histories, the book highlights ethical dilemmas, such as corporate sponsorships, and the ongoing debates surrounding diversity and inclusion.
Through its unique combination of qualitative and quantitative data, Museum Power Struggles provides a multifaceted understanding of museum power dynamics.
