Summary:The term sustainability has become a part of everyday vocabulary and is now a trending topic. As is the case with many other terms, sustainability may be used to transmit different meanings and is often a blurred concept related to multiple dimensions ranging from the economy or the environment to social and cultural issues. In this essay, sustainability is understood as the pursuit of a better future, which is only possible by addressing development from the different but interconnected challenging dimensions of a cultural, environmental, economic, and social nature, to which museums can make relevant contributions. This essay departs from the assumption that sustainability challenges all the functions and areas of museum work, considering a more systemic and multidimensional view of the concept of sustainability. Based on empirical knowledge on the subject, this essay proposes a reflection on the integration of sustainability in museums, identifying some challenges and open questions that the topic raises.
