Debating the practices of museums, galleries, and festivals, Exhibiting Cultures probes the often politically charged relationships among aesthetics, contexts, and implicit assumptions that govern how art and artifacts are displayed and understood. The contributors—museum directors, curators, and scholars in art history, folklore, history, and anthropology—represent a variety of stances on the role of museums and their function as intermediaries between the makers of art or artifacts and the eventual viewers.

This book discusses deeply the issue without being overtly dense or complicated. It is also very entretaining. If you want to understand curating and administration of exhibiting spaces from a respecting multicultural view this book is a must.

Una pietra miliare nella riflessione sui musei a livello internazionale. L’edizione italiana di qualche anno fa purtroppo non riportava per intero il testo. La versione originale riesce invece a dare il senso di una nuova idea di museo che si fa spazio a partire dall’inizio degli anni novanta. Non si è museologi se non si è letto questo libro.

I had to read this book for school. While someone the chapter I found every easy to read others were a challenge. Itâs a good book if you want to better understand global diversity in the world of museums especially American ones. Itâll make you question a lot of things and thatâs always a good thing.
