Gathering of Strangers: Why Museums Matter

A powerful, timely and thought-provoking exploration of the transformative role of the museum – and of art – in society today. Moving from the historical origins of the gallery to the way in which art and artists can imagine and shape our collective future, this book will help readers connect with important debates taking place around art and the climate emergency, race equality and decolonisation, and the value of the arts in education.
