About
A Museum for Now is a place for thought, discussion and ideas about what a museum should be - and needs to be - in an ever-changing world.
A Museum for Now is a space for thought, discussion and ideas about the role and shape of museum and gallery spaces in an ever-changing world. The magazine aims to examine current and future models for museums and cultural spaces, highlighting the big issues from climate change and technological shifts to visitor trends and evolving understanding of best practice.
Since its inception in 2020, the magazine has hosted input from figures such as Jeff Cowton, Principal Curator and Head of Learning at Wordsworth Grasmere, and Poppy Andrews, Head of Communications at the National Portrait Gallery in London, as well as architecture students from London Metropolitan University, investigating new typologies for the museum of the future. Team members from architecture and exhibition design practice Nissen Richards Studio, who host and direct the magazine’s content, complete the picture.
