Museums slow pace of exhibits
|
 Gonzalo Fuentes/ReutersCash-strapped museums are holding fewer exhibitions and running them for longer as they attempt to compete with online media for audience attention. The V&A Dundee in Scotland now holds just one major show per year, compared with as many as three annually when it opened in 2018, while the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh puts on half as many exhibits as before the pandemic. It’s due in large part to governments scaling back support, hitting institutions’ finances. But curators are increasingly reconsidering their prior cadence. “What is a museum for?” one said to The Art Newspaper. “Art is a slow, intentional experience.” |
