This thought-provoking collection of essays is essential reading
for anyone who cares about cultural institutions and their role in
the community of learners. These institutions-often museums or
libraries-have the power to profoundly alter our sense of ourselves
and of the world around us, but that power carries with it
obligations. David Carr challenges us to contemplate both the
effects and the responsibilities, to examine carefully the nuances
of these experiences. Yet a visit to a cultural institution is
itself only one act in the broader activity of learning throughout
our lives. Carr has much to say about the experience of learning in
its best sense and thus speaks not only to lovers of cultural
institutions, but also to lovers of learning everywhere.
