Critical Museum Studies

Critical Museum Studies is an approach that examines how museums influence cultures, shape knowledge, and reflect societal power dynamics. It encourages questioning established narratives, inclusivity, and the representation of diverse communities. Instead of just showcasing artifacts, it analyzes how exhibits are curated, what stories are prioritized, and who benefits from this storytelling. This perspective aims to create more equitable, thoughtful, and reflective museums that address social issues and challenge traditional authority in the curation of history and culture.
