“A challenging and fascinating book that theorizes
exhibitions as media for encounter, enactment, experience, and the
creation rather than the transmission of knowledge. It opens up a
whole new way of thinking about the potential of galleries and
museums. Essential reading.”

“This scintillating collection offers the most original
treatment yet of experiment as an appealing, provoking ideology
that has pulled together diverse critical approaches in the study
of modern culture. An absorbing read all the way
through.”
George Marcus, University of California, Irvine
“This book combines stimulating essays by established
scholars who have pioneered research into exhibitionary practice,
with exciting and innovative chapters by younger scholars. It will
be of equal relevance to museum professionals and the audiences who
participate in the museum experience.”
Howard Morphy, Australian National University
