Museums display much more than artifacts; Museum Culture makes us
on a tour through the complex of ideas, values and symbols that
pervade and shape the practice of exhibiting today. Bringing
together a broad range of perspectives from history, art history,
critical theory and sociology, the contributors to this new
collection argue that museums have become a central institution and
metaphor in contemporary society.Discussing exhibition histories
and practice in Western Europe, the former Soviet Union, Israel and
the United States, the authors explore the ways in which museums
assign meaning to art through various kinds of exhibitions and
display strategies, examining the political implications of these
strategies and the forms of knowledge they invoke and construct.
The collection also discusses alternative exhibition forms, the
involvement of some museums with the more spectacular practices of
mass media culture, and looks at how museums construct their
public.
