They derive from a number of motives, ranging from the commercial to the cultural political (and many combine both). A close study of this phenomenon is not only valuable for museological practice but, as has been argued, it may challenge our current bedrock assumptions about the very nature and purpose of the museum. This book looks to the future of museum practice through examining how museums have evolved particularly in the non-western world to incorporate the present and the future in the display of culture. Of particular concern is the uses to which historic records are put in the service of community development and cultural renaissance.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 229mmItem Length: 152mmItem Weight: 381gContributor: Nick Stanley (Edited by)Author: Nick StanleyGenre: Society & CultureTopic: Social Sciences, Language & ReferenceBook Series: Museums and CollectionsRelease Year: 2008 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
