The book approaches museums of the Great War as political entities,
some more overtly than others, but all unable to escape from the
politics of the war, its profound legacies and its enduring memory.
Their changing configurations and content are explored as
reflections of the social and political context in which they
exist. Curating of the Great War has expanded beyond the walls of
museum buildings, seeking public engagement, both direct and
digital, and taking in whole landscapes. Recognizing this fact, the
book examines these museums as standing at the nexus of
historiography, museology, anthropology, archaeology, sociology and
politics as well as being a lieux de memoire. Their multi-vocal
nature makes them a compelling subject for research and above all
the book highlights that it is in these museums that we see the
most complete fusion of the material culture of conflict with its
historical, political and experiential context. This book is an
essential read for researchers of the reception of the Great War
through material culture and museums.
