Su questo libro

Recensione:

This is an ambitious book, setting out as it does to explore the gamut of new museum theory and practice. The essays in this book are diverse, but together they suggest virtually all of the recent major intellectual and political shifts within the museum world. ( Museum Anthropology, Summer 2008)

This book is inspiring and ... offers an excellent vision of why and how the museum will matter more in the 21st century. (Muse)
