Gallery Keynote: Future Glocal Museum Perspectives By Dr Marion Ackermann

The future of our museums and the search for new concepts in rapidly changing societies is an important issue in present museum debates. Social transformation processes, changes in communication and the transfer of knowledge, which have been extremely accelerated by the digital revolution and globalisation, are also visible in everyday museum life.

Prof. Dr. Marion Ackermann, Director General of the Dresden State Art Collections (Staatliche Kunstsammlung Dresden, or SKD), discusses the current situation of museums from a local and global perspective, and point out possible development trends for the future. 

This Gallery Keynote lecture was recorded live in July 2019 at National Gallery Singapore.
