| Abstract: |
In this thesis I argue that programs for young adults stimulate innovation within museum institutions and assist them in reaching a wider audience. These programs keep museums relevant in addition to helping them better meet the needs of the communities where they reside. Using ethnographic data from two museums that recently implemented programs to attract younger audiences, Miami's HistoryMiami and the Ringling Museum of Art in Sarasota, Florida, I examine how the presence of these programs serves a pivotal role in rectifying a problematic historical legacy of classism that continues to influence contemporary conceptions of museums. |
