Museums, modern concepts of culture, and ideas about difference
arose together and are inextricably entwined. Relationships of
difference notably, of gender, ethnicity, nationality, and race
have become equally important concerns of scholarship in humanities
and contemporary museum practice. Museums and Difference offers the
perspectives of scholars and museum professionals in tandem, using
the concept of difference to reexamine how museums construct
themselves, their collections, and their publics. Essays explore a
wide range of examples from around the world and from the 19th
century to the present, including case studies of special
exhibitions as well as broad surveys of institutions in Europe, the
United States, and Japan."
