    This edited book comprises a selection of essays inspired by the presentations delivered during the workshop 'Open Up Museums! Prospects and challenges of Accessibility, Diversity and Inclusion', co-organised in the Spring of 2022 by three EU-funded projects – reCreating Europe, DANCING, and inDICEs, and hosted by MUSE – Museo delle Scienze, and Mart – Museo di arte moderna e contemporanea di Trento e Rovereto.
    In the book, academics and cultural heritage practitioners reflect on how to promote 'openness' in the cultural sector. Exploring the concepts of Accessibility, Diversity and Inclusion, they offer different views on institutions and practices, giving substance to the multifold concept of 'open' culture in museums.

    Imagine you’ve eaten some hallucinogenic mushrooms—and things aren’t going well. You’re disoriented, panicking. But you can call someone. Who do you call? 
    For Vishal, the answer was his philosopher friend William. He has a PhD in philosophy and can deliver one hell of a talk-down to someone in an existential crisis. He helped Vishal through his bad trip by telling him about Aristotle. 
    That conversation inspired Ask Aristotle, a refreshingly un-schoolish introduction to one of history’s most legendary thinkers. 
    This book is important because it brings a powerful philosophy out of the Ivory Tower and into the real world. It even does this in a playful format—a modern spin on the Platonic dialogue, which makes the reading experience feel like eavesdropping on a fascinating conversation. 
    It’s the next best thing to a podcast with Aristotle.
