Listen "The Museum Question"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, we challenge the very idea of the museum—once resisted, now unquestioned. From the French Revolution’s Musée des Monuments Français to the global institutions of today, we examine how museums shape, preserve, and sometimes distort art. Debates over context, canonization, and inclusion remain as urgent as ever. Do museums enshrine creativity or stifle it? Are they spaces of discovery or instruments of power? As museums evolve with technology and shifting values, we ask: what should they become in the 21st century?
