Museology and Values by Timothy Verdon
Do 21st-century women and men still believe that museums can, through the way they display art, help shape their visitors' sense of the dignity of the person? Through the readings of history and style which they propose, can museums help bridge the gap that today seems to separate present from past, isolating individuals and groups in a contemporaneity without roots? If so, how? If not, why?
Monsignor Timothy Verdon is the Academic Director of the Mount Tabor Centre in Barga, Italy, and is one of the world's most renowned art historians. He received his PhD from Yale University and has lived in Florence, Italy, for the past 50 years, where he manages the Diocesan Office of Sacred Art and Church Cultural Heritage, the Cathedral Foundation Museum (Museo dell'Opera di Santa Maria del Fiore), and the Archdiocese of Florence's Centre for Ecumenism.
