Making A Great Art Museum: Contending with Southeast Asian Modernities and Art

What makes a museum a ‘must-go’ destination for visitors? What are the emerging global trends in museology and what are the challenges involved in developing a ‘great’ art museum?

Bringing together a panel of established academics and art experts locally and abroad, this symposium focuses on generating and deliberating on ideas of a museum’s context and contents, its role within its environment as well its presence and function in a social, cultural, intellectual and even political ecology. In essence, the symposium will investigate how museums individually and collectively can realize the challenging goal of being a ‘great’ art museum.
