Abstract (en)

Anthology of essays from an essentially British perspective. Issues examined include the transformation of meaning of artefacts through their context in a museum (Charles Saumarez Smith); links between museums and knowledge (Ludmilla Jordanova); the display of objects for exhibitions (Peter Vergo); theme parks, heritage centres, and the merchandising of history (Colin Sorensen); comparisons between the great international exhibitions and contemporary museum policy towards the public (Paul Greenhalgh); how the past is represented by museums (Stephen Bann); visitors' experiences in art museums (Philip Wright); museum visiting as a cultural phenomenon (Nick Merriman); and legal constraints on the acquisition, custody, and disposal of cultural artefacts (Norman Palmer).
