Abstract
This chapter features an interview two senior museum leaders with a long history in digital product development and open access who discuss how their museums are evolving. A wide-ranging conversation explores the challenges and opportunities small to medium sized museums face, and what it means for leaders who emerge from ‘digital culture ’ to be shaping museums. It is an important exploration, too, of the changing context in which museums now operate and how the slow shift to a “postdigital” museum cannot be abstracted from broader shifts in culture and politics .
