Biography/History:

Insa Müller (PhD), born in 1979, is Associate Professor at the Department of Historical Studies, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). Her research and teaching is centered on cultural heritage management and museology. She also acts as a special adviser for community dialogue at Stiklestad National Culture Centre and as a researcher at Falstadsenter.

Summary:

In remote areas of Europe, local history museums struggle to connect with the rapidly changing and increasingly diverse communities around them. Insa Müller asks how these museums can recast themselves to strengthen the links to their communities. Combining theoretical deliberations, empirical investigations of the case of two Norwegian islands and a museum experiment, she offers starting points for rethinking the local history museum, while at the same time providing suggestions for locally adapted museum practice.
