Creating Inclusive Exhibition: Manual of Museum Exhibitions

Lord Cultural Resources is pleased to announce the release of its latest publication, the Manual of Museum Exhibitions 3rd Edition. To celebrate with us, we are hosted a webinar on the latest trends in museum exhibitions. During the hour-long webinar, we talked with the book’s editor, Maria Piacente, followed by a panel discussion with museum and cultural expert contributors.

The COVID-19 pandemic shone a bright light on inequities in our society that impact People of Colour and Indigenous communities economically, socially, and physically. Coupled with the racial justice movement and a growing commitment to Truth and Reconciliation, cultural organizations are working to better understand how meaningful engagement with communities influences current and future actions in museums.

As one of the most important drivers of attendance and revenue in museums, the development of exhibitions is at the forefront of museum engagement strategies. Exhibitions can stimulate decolonial dialogues, privilege diverse voices and underserved publics, and present alternative ways of knowing.

Maria Piacente – Senior Vice President for Exhibition and Gallery Planning at the Royal Ontario Museum
