Museums display much more than artefacts; Museum Culture takes the reader on a tour through the complex of ideas, values and symbols that pervade and shape the practice of exhibiting today. Bringing together a broad range of perspectives from history, art history, critical theory and sociology, the contributors to this collection argue that museums have become a central institution and metaphor in contemporary society.
