Abstract
This paper focuses on the changing ethical criteria of procuring, researching, exhibiting, preserving and repatriating visual materials and objects in the 21st century. It stresses the need for dynamic reinterpretation of the role of the museum in the world and how technology such as AI can enhance and or perhaps hinder the future of museums as functional institutions of public engagement. What kind of new pedagogical innovations based in technology can museums provide in society? How can these criteria reimagine the practical and ideological function of cultural institutions and public engagement in challenging the status quo of the past?
