ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book explains the rocky road to innovation in the museum sector with the intention to provide some practical tools to plan, execute and evaluate museum innovation. It analyses many concepts, frameworks, case studies, projects and commentaries. The book argues that the role of contemporary museums goes beyond the traditional functions of collecting, preserving, storing and exhibiting tangible and intangible cultural heritage. The innovation movement in museums is inspired by different factors. Supreme among them is the need for museums to stay relevant to an evolving society while improving their financial resilience. Identifying the intersection of digital innovation and social innovation in the museum context unlocks and frees the creative digital minds in many museums worldwide to present genuine innovations that can transform communities and improve lives.
