“Last week we explored the topic of museums as cultivators of empathy. Empathy was selected as a trend by the Center for the Future of Museum’s TrendWatch 2017, and last week’s postreviewed how museums are beginning to grapple with empathy as a part of their identity. This post follows up on the topic with resources and a list of actions suggesting how museums can encourage an identity of empathy.

When reading about empathy in museums it doesn’t take long before finding works by Mike Murawski, the Director of Education and Public Programs at the Portland Art Museum. Murawski has a MuseumNext talk and ArtMuseum Teaching article both entitled, “The Urgency of Empathy & Social Impact in Museums”. Both were provided in mid-to-late 2016, a time in which prejudice, conflict, and inequality had reached a fever pitch in the United States, Canada, and England.”
