Museums and public art have traditionally taken significantly
different approaches to customer engagement, but throughout history
they have also worked together in some urban contexts, notably as
landmarks of so-called cultural districts. Public Art and Museums
in Cultural Districts reviews their changing interactions in many
different types of cities since the Enlightenment, or even before,
going back to the etymological origins of museums and monuments in
classical antiquity. The type of historical enquiry presented
within the volume is not intended as a total narrative, but the
international study cases considered convey a global panorama of
the shifting paradigms set in different periods by some cultural
neighbourhoods and emulated worldwide. Blurring boundaries between
art history, museology and urbanism, this critical account explores
past tensions, achievements and failures, giving insightful
consideration to present policies and pointing out reasonable
recommendations for the future regarding public heritage.
Presenting for the first time an insights into the role of
collections of public art as landmarks of cultural districts, this
book considers collections displayed outdoors from the double
perspective of curatorial outreach and civic values. This book will
fill a gap in the existing museum studies literature, hitherto
mainly focused on indoor collecting and curatorial policies, but
increasingly more and more attentive to their outside context. As
such, the book should be of great interest to academics,
researchers and students working in the fields of art, heritage,
museum studies and urban history. It should also be of value to
professionals working in the museum and art sectors.
