Abstract

As we enter the third decade of the twenty-first century, in which the assuredness and authority of the modern period has been eclipsed by the uncertainty of our global age, I reflect on aspects of the public museum's legacy for learning. I argue for greater recognition of the contested pedagogic purposes with which pubic museums have been tasked and I position twenty-first century'disruptions' such as protests, interventions and contestations, directed at the practices of public museums, as having important pedagogic intentions and effects . To do so I refer to examples from some of my previous research projects and writings, which examine artists' and art teachers' relationships and interactions with art museums.
