*SOLD OUT* Day of Ideas 2012 Other events...
'It is one of the singular weaknesses of our mind that we can’t judge objects and see them in the clear light of day unless we place other objects next to them.' - Alexis de Tocqueville

Cultural institutions such as galleries, archives and museums can have long or short histories, but all have heritage – of their origin, their mission, their successes and failures and their place in our society. The 2012 Day of Ideas will explore cultural institutions thinking in two directions to the past and the future.

Some of the ideas we will examine include: How does the heritage of institutions play a role in their functions? What is the legacy of collections? How does the weight of context make objects ambassadors from the time of collection? How do cultural institutions become agents for social innovation? What is the future of objects? Shall museums and galleries become increasingly virtual and digital? Does social media offer a radical future, or more of the same? What is the future for collecting?
