Newly available in paperback, this book takes the University of
Manchester's Museum as its subject. By setting the museum in its
cultural and intellectual contexts, Nature and culture explores
twentieth-century collecting and display, and the status of the
object in the modern world. Beginning with the origins of the
Manchester Museum, accounting for its development as an
internationally renowned university museum, and concluding at its
major expansion at the turn of the millennium, this book casts new
light on the history of museums. How did objects become knowledge?
Who encountered museum objects on their way to museums? What
happened to collections within the museum? How did visitors use and
respond to objects? In answering these questions, Nature and
culture illuminates not only the history of one institution, but
also contributes to wider discussions in the history of science,
cultural history and museology. -- .
