Museum Global Local

Description

This special issue examines the phenomenon of the global museum and its diversification, as well as how this expansion of scope and collections has impacted museum architecture. The new generation of museums, besides being geopolitically diverse, has also become more egalitarian, which in turn makes branding and consumerism integral to their operations. Fourteen new museums and museum expansions are featured, including the New Tate Modern by Herzog & de Meuron, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art expansion by Snøhetta, Kunstmuseum Basel by Christ & Gantenbein, National Museum in Szczecin by KWK Promes, and Lisbon’s MAAT by AL_A.
