We would be most grateful if you could please put out the word and post it widely. It has been said that a museum’s unique architecture is its greatest single object and a prize architectural commission. Indeed, some of the most spectacular and innovative buildings are created for museums. This panel will explore the challenges, successes, and failures of museum architecture, with a focus on Jewish and Holocaust museums. What are the challenges of designing buildings for Jewish museums? For Holocaust museums? To what extent do such projects rely on conventional metaphors? How do you address these questions in your practice? How has contemporary museum architecture evolved? To what extent are these developments reflected in the design of Jewish and Holocaust museums? Why do museum commissions offer opportunities for architects to experiment? Do museums represent their best work? What accounts for the museum boom in the last two decades? Will it last? Should it last? What might museums look like in the near future in light of our changing world? Which trends are waning? Which are emerging? What are their implications for the design of Jewish and Holocaust museums? This panel is part of the online conference WHAT’S NEW? WHAT’S NEXT? INNOVATIVE METHODS, NEW SOURCES, AND PARADIGM SHIFTS IN JEWISH STUDIES at POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews. You will find the full conference program here. https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://polin.gridaly.com/info__;!!KGKeukY!hTUdXv5qMHdRk7p-VeEuLXXVFD-7ul5q-BwAqo7V9NO3lxvWsaSzBM51frkG-K4yzoZrb0eSvDrJ$ .
