ABSTRACT
This final, editorial chapter draws together commonalities across the volume sections and chapters. Noting how experimental museology is set in motion as a way for museums to navigate contingencies brought about by often structural complexities and socio-cultural dilemmas around the world, this chapter highlights three implications that stand out as particularly pertinent when museums navigate these contingencies through holistic approaches. These implications are ethical implications when museum institutions explore new and dynamic forms of collaboration; implications with regard to diversity when museums design novel modes of communication; and democratic implications when museums engage with communities holding divergent affinities and values. This chapter discusses these implications and suggests principles and guidelines for successful change processes when museums enter uncharted territories of experimentation.
