| Abstract: | The paper calls for an alternative mode to the present-centric collections development practices guided by futures-oriented perspectives. This new approach, tentatively referenced to a curated choice of strategic foresight tools, would introduce the concept of “future memories” in collections management. Thanks to these tools, museums would be better equipped to anticipate societal change, address representational gaps, and curate collections for relevance in a multiple range of futures. |
