Using case studies drawn from all areas of museum studies,
Museums and their Communities explores the museums as a site of
representation, identity and memory, and considers how it can
influence its community.
Focusing on the museum as an institution, and its social and
cultural setting, Sheila Watson examines how museums use their
roles as informers and educators to empower, or to ignore,
communities.
Looking at the current debates about the role of the museum, she
considers contested values in museum functions and examines
provision, power, ownership, responsibility, and institutional
issues.
This book is of great relevance for all disciplines as it
explores and questions the role of the museum in modern
society.
