[edit] Museums and Memory
Contributors from the fields of history, anthropology, art history, and museum scholarship discuss experimental ways of theorizing and designing contemporary museums, covering the professional risks for collectors and curators shaping the institutional presentation of history and memory.
Museums today are more than familiar cultural institutions and showplaces of accumulated objects; they are the sites of interaction between personal and collective identities, between memory and history. The essays in this volume consider museums from personal experience and historical study, and from the memories of museum visitors, curators, and scholars. Representing a variety of fields - history, anthropology, art history, and museum scholarship - the contributors discuss museums across disciplinary boundaries that have separated art museums from natural history museums or local history museums from national galleries. The essays range widely over tim e and place, in exhibitions and institution type. The papers are organized according to three suggestive themes: experimental ways of theorizing and designing contemporary museums with an explicit interest in history and memory; discussions of personal encounters with historical exhibits; and the professional risks at stake for collectors and curators who shape the institutional presentation of history and memory.
