The Sustainable Museum is the first book to outline a coherent strategy for the direction of museums, as it relates to sustainability in the museum and heritage sector. Arguing that museums must place sustainability at the centre of all their activities, if they are to become key actors with a clear societal role, Garthe considers the issues that museums will likely face as they take on their new roles. Presenting case studies from a wide range of museums around the world, the book considers different ways of implementing sustainability in different types and sizes of institutions. Whilst the book clearly outlines the need for change, it also provides guidance about how to change. Garthe does this by considering specific concepts and approaches to sustainability in relation to the different aspects of museum operations. The book includes a hands-on manual for implementing sustainability management in a museum, whilst also considering the challenges practitioners will encounter and considering what the future of the sustainable museum might look like. The Sustainable Museum will be essential reading for museum and heritage professionals around the globe. The book will also be of interest to academics and students engaged in the study of museums, arts and cultural management, business administration, change management or sustainable development.

Growing public interest in environmental sustainability is a gift to historic sites and museums. It is an invitation to use our knowledge, collections, and sites to discuss how human practices and interactions with the environment in past were – and were not – environmentally sustainable. Being green still has a great deal to do with using less energy, buying less stuff, and recycling more, but now sustainability just as important in strategic planning, interpretation and public engagement. Environmental Sustainability at Historic Sites and Museums details how to go green at every level of your organization Why is this important? Because it is no longer a choice; environmental awareness as an amenity has become climate awareness as a necessity. Seas and storms threaten historic coastal communities. Flooding increasingly threatens sites near rivers. What structural precautions, collections care changes, and insurance approaches should you take for the new normal? What self-sufficiencies must you develop? What role do you have in community responses? Let environmental sustainability change the way you operate, engage the community and fulfill your mission. Let this book introduce you to the topic if you’re new to it; or take you to the next level of performance if you’ve been doing this awhile. From one of the leading experts in the sustainability practices in museums, this book explains how engaging in sustainable practices will benefit not only the planet, but also the people you serve, your programs and even your profits. To demonstrate this, Sutton provides case studies from museums at the forefront of the green movement.

Abstract: The greatest threat that museums are facing in different parts of the world, including Egypt, is that museums no longer have the capacity to sustain themselves and their activities. Therefore, museums are in need to change the way they function to become more sustainable. New models for museums seek to give power to its visitors. A Visitor-centric approach in museums ultimately focuses on providing a product and a service which is compatible with the needs and expectations of visitors. This research represents an initial step in analyzing the relationship between customer-satisfaction and the quality of the education service on one hand and the concept of social sustainability on the other. These are three areas through which museums are expected to achieve the intended development. The study aims to evaluate visitors’ experience, which study also proposes a definition and measurement scale for social sustainability of the museum, and examines the relationship between visitors’ experience and the level of social sustainability. The proposed framework was empirically tested on the Egyptian Geological museum. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with the museum’s management team and staff that helped in constructing a perspective about the museum, gaining information about the museum’s vision, mission, services, visitor numbers and demographics. A survey questionnaire was developed and administered to respondents among three hundred of the Egyptian Geological museum visitors. The survey was composed of three instruments: 1) the Servqual instrument, which measures the level of satisfaction of museum visitors with the quality of the service, including their experiences and perceptions; 2) the knowledge instrument, which assess the change a visitor knowledge; 3) and the subjective visitor perceptions of the social sustainability of the museum. The study findings carry important implications for the museum’s management, with specific actionable recommendations in key areas such as: strategic marketing, communication and service. Findings revealed that better the service quality as perceived by the customer, the greater the customer satisfaction with the core service. Findings showed that the better the quality of educational service as perceived by customers, the greater the museums social sustainability. On the scientific level, the study is a preliminary attempt to deepen understanding and measurement of an important construct in the sustainability field, namely social sustainability. The study points the way toward a promising approach for fostering the sustainable development of museums by providing a conceptual framework that integrates the services marketing and sustainability literature. Finally, the study alludes to important policy implications that may inform government decisions regarding national museums.

Climate action requires deep and rapid transformations in society. However, institutions and sectors – including museums – are often unprepared for these transformations. Action is woefully insufficient to address the challenge. This Toolbox brings together information on climate change policy, sustainable development and the Sustainable Development Goals, and a number of approaches that museums can draw on to inform their activities. The Toolbox explores some of the ideas that were generated through the project Reimagining Museums for Climate Action, which included a design competition, exhibition, website and book. The Toolbox consists of a variety of approaches that you can pick and choose from, depending on your context, challenges, and aspirations. It is not intended to be the last word on the subject, or to be read from start to finish as a single tool: think of it as a go-to manual. Climate change is complex, and the challenges, and appropriate responses, vary from place to place, and community to community. That is why this collection is a Toolbox, rather than a tool or a toolkit. The Toolbox has been formatted to be used on a computer screen. Hyperlinks are embedded in this file, to access further information. If you do plan to print this document, please think of the environment, print only what you need, and print double-sided.
