Language Inclusion in Museums

This book addresses reasons to remedy the lack of language inclusivity, explain research-based benefits of multilingualism, and establish translation guidelines to make museums more equitable and accessible.

Museums are responsible for sharing and preserving cultural records in an accessible way with and for the communities around them. In the United States, over 100 million people speak languages other than English, yet most museums prioritize solely English. This causes visitors who speak languages other than English to feel othered, ignored, and excluded, hindering their relationships with museums. Museums must dismantle these monolinguistic pillars by committing to language inclusion outside of accessibility.
