There has been an explosion of museum and heritage activity across Asia, especially in China, where audience development and public education have been made a government priority for museums. Public participation is already well established, for example in Singapore, Korea, Taiwan and Japan, but is little documented and reviewed for a wider audience in Asia and beyond. This book examines and critiques these developments and asks how best practice can match the specific needs of diverse Asian cultures and societies.

Written by practitioners, this book brings together a range of regional examples of innovative practice and new initiatives, which address shared themes and challenges for museums, galleries, community projects and heritage sites across Asia. It focuses on public programmes, exhibitions, education and media and seeks to provide a critical framework that is both sensitive to Asian contexts and alert to western museologies and critical practice.

Caroline Lang was Head of Communities and Audience Development at the V&A until 2012 then Head of Education and Public Programmes at the Hong Kong Maritime Museum until 2016. She has taught international museum students and professionals with the British Council, at UCL Institute of Education and in India, China, Taiwan and Thailand and contributes to museum projects across Asia. John Reeve was formerly Head of Education at the British Museum, working especially with its Asian collections. While there and subsequently, he has worked for the British Council training museum professionals in Asia. Until early 2016, he also lectured in museum studies at UCL Institute of Education, training museum and heritage educators from all over the world and increasingly from Asia.

Introduction. Chapters include case studies on a wide range of museums in India, China, Taiwan, Japan, Vietnam, Singapore, South Korea and Thailand. Topics covered include: policy making; museum audience, local communities and public education; engaging ageing populations and children; sustaining innovation and presenting recent history.
