Overview

Museum sustainability evolves into a complex challenge requiring more than environmental awareness or financial stability. It calls for a holistic integration of ecological, social, economic, and cultural strategies. Museums are expected to adapt to changing societal needs, embrace inclusive practices, and adopt innovative technologies, all while maintaining their core mission. From energy-efficient building operations and responsible collections management to community engagement, digital transformation, and ethical governance, sustainability in museums encompasses a broad spectrum of concerns. Approaching museum sustainability through multiple lenses offers a more resilient, adaptive framework for ensuring museums thrive during global change. Multidimensional Perspectives and Approaches to Museum Sustainability explores museum sustainability from environmental, communicational, cultural, economic, and social perspectives. It examines current challenges while offering innovative solutions that ensure the future of museums in a changing society. This book covers topics such as social media, renewable energy, and cultural heritage, and is a useful resource for business owners, museum workers, sociologists, academicians, researchers, and environmental scientists.
