Explore the transformative potential of museums with The Metabolic Museum by Clémentine Deliss. In this groundbreaking book, Deliss reimagines the role of museums in the 21st century, challenging traditional perspectives and advocating for a dynamic, metabolic approach to the curation and interpretation of collections.
Deliss draws on her extensive experience as a curator and cultural theorist to propose innovative methods for reinvigorating museum practices. She argues for a museum that is not a static repository of objects but a living organism—a space of constant renewal, exchange, and cultural metabolism. Through a blend of critical essays, case studies, and theoretical insights, The Metabolic Museum inspires readers to rethink how museums can engage with communities, address colonial legacies, and foster cross-cultural dialogue.
