Shaila Bhatti's immersive study of the Lahore Museum in Pakistan is
one of the first books to offer an in-depth historical and
ethnographic analysis of a South Asian museum. Bhatti thus presents
an alternative example of visitor experience and museum practice to
that of the West, which has been the dominant museological model to
date. This examination of the Lahore Museum's objects, staff, and
visitors (past and present) provides an informative case study that
reveals local perceptions and uses of museums in non-Western
societies to be fraught with social, political, and cultural
implications and appropriations. Through Lahore, Bhatti examines
the history of exchange between Britian and South Asia and advances
our current understanding of what constitutes postcolonial museum
interpretation and its public.
