Abstract (en)

Discusses the role of the museum, especially when mounting a special exhibition, in interpreting works of art for visitors. Provides examples of strategies employed in some recent exhibitions, and suggests that exhibition curators bear in mind not only historical facts, but cultural complexity and the "unpredictable power of the individual work of art".
