A critical examination of how contemporary art museums can address colonial legacies. Nina Möntmann extends the decolonization debate to contemporary art institutions, urging them to 'decenter' their Eurocentric focus rooted in colonialism. This shift involves reassessing collections, exhibition policies, and infrastructures to promote inclusivity and diversity.This book offers a path forward, drawing lessons from anthropological museums engaged in colonial history debates and small-scale art spaces fostering community conversations. By analyzing best practices and proposing concrete strategies, Möntmann challenges museums to reimagine their role in a globalized world, fostering social justice and cultural equity. It is for museum directors, curators, art historians, and cultural studies scholars.
