The concept of an encyclopedic museum was born of the Enlightenment, a manifestation of society s growing belief that the spread of knowledge and the promotion of intellectual inquiry were crucial to human development and the future of a rational society.

ISBN: 9780691154435 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The international controversy over who "owns" antiquities has pitted museums against archaeologists and source countries where ancient artifacts are found.

Now in Whose Culture?, Cuno assembles preeminent museum directors, curators, and scholars to explain for themselves what's at stake in this struggle--and why the museums' critics couldn't be more wrong. Source countries and archaeologists favor tough...
