Navigating Internal and External Pressures in Museums: Future Perspectives on Education and Curatorship

This exploration addresses the myriad internal and external pressures facing museums today. Issues such as funding constraints ("so little time, so much to do"), resource management, and the roles of curatorship, education, and entertainment are discussed. The paper also considers external influences from government and international agreements, including UNESCO conventions. Ultimately, it questions the future role of museums as educators, leaders, and proactive resources in society, emphasizing the importance of managing both internal attachment and external instrumentalisation.
