Blockbuster exhibitions are ubiquitous fixtures in the cultural
calendars of major museums and galleries worldwide. The Rise of the
Must-See Exhibition charts their ascent across a diverse array of
museums and galleries. The book positions these exhibits in the
Australian cultural context, demonstrating how policy developments
and historical precedents have created a space for their current
domination. Drawing on historical evidence, policy documents and
contemporary debates, the book offers a complex analysis of the
aims and motivations of blockbuster exhibitions. Its chronological
approach reveals a genealogy of exhibits from the mid-nineteenth
century onward to identify precursors to current practice. This
provides a foundation upon which to examine the unprecedented
growth of blockbusters in the latter half of the twentieth century.
The examples discussed offer a unique opportunity to study how
institutional growth, political support, individual champions and
audience interest have influenced the development of large-scale
temporary exhibitions. The Rise of the Must-See Exhibition
considers blockbusters as an international phenomenon and, as such,
is highly relevant to practitioners working across the cultural
sector around the world. The book will also appeal to academics and
students engaged in the study of museums and galleries, arts
management and curating, as well as those interested in the history
of exhibitions and cultural policy.
