ABSTRACT
The post-museum was introduced at the start of this book as a museum form with a number of important characteristics. The post-museum will be shaped through a more sophisticated understanding of the complex relationships between culture, communication, learning and identity that will support a new approach to museum audiences; it will work towards the promotion of a more egalitarian and just society; and its practice and operations will be informed by an acceptance that culture works to represent, reproduce and constitute self-identities and that this entails a sense of social and ethical responsibility. And Marstine suggests that in the emerging post-museum, education will become much more fully integrated into museum practice.1
