Article Abstract:
Museum directors realise that museum research cannot remain an end in itself and should be increasingly aimed at answering questions of contemporary relevance, particularly about the environment and biodiversity. There is a new focus on multidisciplinary research, and the future of natural history museums will rely on strategic alliances with other organizations, which will increase the reach and widen the impact.
