Has the 'Second Museum Age' evolved out of trends in the 'new meseology' (for example, greater representation of culturally diverse voices in museums)? As museums are increasingly playing a role in confronting prejudice and promoting human rights and cross-cultural understanding (which is great), what happens to the aesthetic experiences museums once offered? As museums become more involved in championing social and political causes, is there still room for intrinsically cultural experinces? Just some thoughts...
