Using a scene from Cuarón’s Children of Men1 as a starting point, the author explores some popular representations of heritage professionals and their spaces in science fiction. These chime with critically engaged museological theory and practice in recognizing the role of museums in past and present injustices. The author asks whether popular sci fi representations can be used as a starting point for discussion and debate in professional training. Can sci fi change the way we work and create different futures for museums?
