Abstract
During the last decade, changes in society have triggered a series of new strategic activities undertook by museums. They transitioned to an increased and more consistent presence in the digital space, as well as they began to participate in conversations about recent concerns that currently affect communities. This paper aims to investigate the perception of the general public regarding museums in terms of activism, considering several dimensions - minorities, migration, global warming, education, and social inclusion. It offers a broader vision of how museums in Romania are perceived both as participatory institutions and active Ñcitizensî of society as opposed to their foreign counterparts.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
