Museums in the Material World seeks to both introduce classic and
thought-provoking pieces and contrast them with articles which
reveal grounded practice. The articles are selected from across the
full breadth of museum disciplines and are linked by a logical
narrative, as detailed in the section introductions.
The choice of articles reveals how the debate has opened up on
disciplinary practice, how the practices of the past have been
critiqued and in some cases replaced, how it has become necessary
to look beyond and outside disciplinary boundaries, and how old
practices can in many circumstances continue to have validity.
Museums in the Material World is about broadening horizons and
moving museum studies students, and others, beyond the narrow
confines of their own disciplinary thinking or indeed any narrow
conception of collections. In essence this is a book about the
practice of interpretation and will therefore be of great use to
those students and museum practitionersinvolved in the field of
material culture in museums.
