Museums are under fire currently from all quarters on account of a wide range of ethical issues, from their association with morally dubious regimes to the questionable provenance of objects in their collections and the perceived lack of inclusivity of their exhibitions. This book examines why museums have become a focus for society’s ethical concerns in the 21st century, whether it is ever possible for a museum to be a neutral space, and what a policy framework for a more ethical museum could look like. It considers examples of best practice in a sector which is struggling to balance increased ethical demands with an often perilous financial situation in the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Gareth Harris is Chief Contributing Editor of The Art Newspaper, and was previously Deputy Editor (2005-09).

He has written numerous articles for the Financial Times on the visual arts and the art market, and has also written for The New York Times, The Times, Apollo Magazine and Frieze. His doctoral thesis from the University of London focused on the artist Umberto Boccioni and the poet Blaise Cendrars.
