- Brings together for the first time a wide array of texts that
mix contemporary analysis with historical documentation.
- Includes five sections that highlight central themes in museum
studies: issue-oriented contexts in museology; states of "nature";
the status of nations; history, memory and other locations; and
arts, crafts and visitors.
- Addresses the development of museums, the role of the museum in
society, and issues central to contemporary museum studies.
- Opens with an introductory essay that situates museum studies
in a truly interdisciplinary context and includes an opening essay
for each section that guides the reader through the
selections.
- Includes a bibliography and list of resources devoted to museum studies that makes the volume an authoritative guide on the subject.
