This season, museum visitors are invited to explore the shifting, fragmented, and multifaceted nature of perspective, reflecting on how histories, identities, and cultural narratives—key themes throughout the new exhibitions—are fluid and evolving, shaped by both personal perspectives and the larger systems and structures through which they are understood and experienced.
