First published in 2004, this volume recognises that there is much
more to museums than the documenting, monumentalizing, or
theme-parking of identity, history and heritage. This landmark
anthology aims to make strange the very existence of museums and to
plot a critical, historical and ethical understanding of their
origins and history. A radical selection of key texts introduces
the reader to the intense investigation of the modern European idea
of the museum that has taken place over the last fifty years. Texts
first published in journals and books are brought together in one
volume with up-to-the-minute and specially commissioned pieces by
leading administrators, curators and art historians. The selections
are organized by key themes that map the evolution of the debate
and introduced by Donald Preziosi and Claire Farago, two
considerable critics, who write with the edge and enthusiasm of art
historians who have spent their lives working with museums.
Grasping the World is an invaluable resource for students and
teachers of art history and museum studies.
