Recenzii

"Sure to be a major intervention in museums and cultural studies...an important and provocative text....I expect this book to be as important as Birth of the Museum, which is saying something." - Ivan Karp, Emory University

'Sure to be a major intervention in museums and cultural studies ... an important and provocative text ... I expect this book to be as important as Birth of the Museum, which is saying something, since that work is the outstanding study of how museums and the public cultural sphere have developed.' - Ivan Karp, Emory University
