Museums today grapple with redefining their identity amid shifting cultural, social, and technological paradigms. Once pillars of national identity and education, they now navigate demands for inclusivity, digital integration, and global dialogue. This evolution challenges traditional roles, transforming museums into dynamic spaces for shared experiences and new narratives. Fulvio Irace, professor emeritus at the Milan Polytechnic, tells us all about these changes.
