In the series: Deconstruction of the Museum

Discussion in English

The stage, artists, presenting, spotlight, narrative – the vocabulary we use in the context of the museums connects it to the theatre. During the discussion, we will consider the entire museum as a stage for which a script must be written, actors selected, the style of the interior decor altered and the set design created, the lighting set up and the characterisation devised. As a long-standing institution, the museum has reached a point where a fundamental makeover is required to make it relevant to contemporary audiences in light of the changes taking place in all areas – social, political and economic. We will be talking with our guests about the formats of possible change as well as the boundaries that need to be pushed and those that must not be crossed.
