City Museums and Globalization
Abstract
City museum is a new issue in museology, which has been discussed for a decade. Important discussions have been carried out about the museum and its relationship to the urban envi-ronment and urban life, the relationship between the city, society and the museum, and the changing city and society. The changing city is considered in the context of globalization. In the literature, there are several ideas about the relationship between globalization and its impacts on today’s cities and societies. On the one hand, globalization is discussed as a nega-tive normalizing process; and on the other hand, it is considered a process of development. Although there are different thoughts on globalization, there is a common approach to the relationship between globalization, city and the city museum, which is that the city museum should display the analogous relationship with the past, present and future.
