This single-volume museum studies reference title explores the ways
in which museums are shaped and configured and how they themselves
attempt to shape and change the world around them. Written by a
leading group of museum professionals and academics from around the
world and including new research, the chapters reveal the diverse
and subtle means by which museums engage and in so doing change and
are changed. The authors span over 200 years discussing national
museums, ecomuseums, society museums, provincial galleries,
colonial museums, the showman's museum, and science centres. Topics
covered include: disciplinary practices, ethnic representation,
postcolonial politics, economic aspiration, social reform,
indigenous models, conceptions of history, urban regeneration,
sustainability, sacred objects, a sense of place, globalization,
identities, social responsibility, controversy, repatriation, human
remains, drama, learning and education. Capturing the richness of
the museum studies discipline, Museum Revolutions is the ideal text
for museum studies courses, providing a wide range of interlinked
themes and the latest thought and research from experts in the
field. It is invaluable for those students and museum professionals
who want to understand the past, present and future of the museum.
