TrendsWatch 2012 highlights seven trends that CFM’s staff and advisors believe are highly significant to museums and their communities, based on our scanning and analysis over the past year. For each trend, we provide a summary, list examples of how the trend is playing out in the world, comment on the trend’s significance to society and to museums, and suggest ways that museums might respond.
