ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses opportunities and risks of sustainable exhibitions and new curatorial practices. Exhibitions are a unique instrument for raising awareness of sustainability among museum audiences and inspiring them. Conversely, can exhibitions and curation also benefit from sustainability communication? How exactly do exhibitions communicate sustainability, either directly through the object itself or through the experience of the space? In addition to sustainability as a thematic frame of reference, this chapter focuses on questions regarding environmentally compatible production and the lending of collection objects.
