For some time now, museums have been recognized as important
institutions of western cultural and social life. The idea of the
museum as a ritual site is fairly new and has been applied to the
art museums in Europe and the United States so far. This volume
expands it by exploring a range of contemporary museums in Europe
and Africa. The case studies examine the different ways in which
various actors involved in cultural production dramatize and
ritualize such sites. It turns out that not only museum
specialists, but visitors themselves are engaged in complex
performances and experiences that make use of museums in often
unexpected ways.
