    The Black Lives Matter movement was a key event for bringing attention to the subject of anti-racism in all different spheres of American culture, including museums. This paper seeks to understand whether the movement has had long-term effects on the programming of three American museums, the New Orleans Museum of Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Walker Art Center. By analysing the programs that each museum has conducted between 2019 and 2024, this study will determine if there has been a positive change towards including more anti-racist programming in museums. To give context to the analysis, the American museum system is discussed, as well as the history of Black Lives Matter, and the general state of decolonisation, participatory practices, and public programming in museums.

    Beyond barriers : nurturing an inclusive art museum landscape for adults with autism in Scotland
    (Tartu Ülikool, 2024) Pursley, Rebecca; Debono, Sandro, juhendaja; Kreegipuu, Tiiu, juhendaja; McColl, Margaret, juhendaja; Tartu Ülikool. Humanitaarteaduste ja kunstide valdkond; Tartu Ülikool. Kultuuriteaduste instituut
    In recent years, the growing recognition of neurodiversity has prompted a critical reassessment of inclusivity within cultural institutions. This desk-based study examines the current accessibility for adults with autism in Scottish art museums, looking at the Burrell Collection, Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, the National Gallery of Scotland, and the Scottish National Portrait Gallery. By analysing existing policies, programs, and physical spaces, this research identifies significant gaps that hinder full participation by neurodiverse individuals. It highlights the challenges faced by autistic adults in navigating museum environments, such as sensory overload, lack of tailored communication, and insufficient staff training. Based on these findings, recommendations for improvement are proposed, advocating for inclusive design principles, enhanced staff education, and the creation of specialised programs. This framework aims to foster a more inclusive museum experience, ensuring that art museums in Scotland can serve as welcoming spaces for all visitors, regardless of neurodiversity.

    Beyond the author’s house : the potential for participatory storytelling in general literary museums
    (Tartu Ülikool, 2024) Rempel, Sarah; Seljamaa, Elo-Hanna, juhendaja; Debono, Sandro, juhendaja; McColl, Margaret, juhendaja; Tartu Ülikool. Humanitaarteaduste ja kunstide valdkond; Tartu Ülikool. Kultuuriteaduste instituut
    This study explores the evolving role of literary museums, traditionally synonymous with writers' house museums, which have historically romanticised authors' lives, acted as markers of education for the elite, and almost exclusively been designed for tourists. The research, focused primarily on the UK and Ireland, examines how in contrast, general literary museums are overlooked cultural assets, demonstrating shifts from passive exhibits toward dynamic, future-focused spaces that foster participatory storytelling, lifelong learning, and wellbeing. Addressing the limitations of treating visitors as observers only, this study asks how literary museums can serve as tools for social action and creativity, empowering audiences to participate in the process. Previous research explores these tensions in relation to literary tourism as well as museums more broadly. Through case studies of the Glasgow Women’s Library and the Museum of Literature Ireland, this research highlights how these two museums utilise storytelling and multipurpose use of space to create inclusive, collaborative learning environments. The findings suggest that literary museums have the capacity to engage and merge traditional and contemporary forms of literacy, empower marginalised voices and contribute to a more inclusive narrative. This work is significant for museum educators and policymakers to realise the potential of literary museums as post-museum spaces, not only engaged with the past but also supporting future generations of critical thinkers, writers and storytellers.
