Museums reflect a nation's character, as well as define it. Museums around the world have been shaped by globalization, and in turn have shaped a global public's understanding of local, regional, or national identity. Essayists consider the politics of museum interpretation in the global context, issues of cultural patrimony and heritage tourism, the risks of crossing boundaries and borders to present controversial subjects, and strategies for engaging audiences and communities. International case studies from Germany, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, South Africa, Niger, and Vietnam underscore the common motives and sensibilities, as well as the challenges, of the world's museums in their efforts to educate and inspire.
»Schaudepot« oder »Eventkultur«? Trotz aller Vielfalt folgen Museen doch bestimmten Standards - von der Eingangssituation bis zur Dauerausstellung. Die transdisziplinären Beiträge dieses Buches überwinden das Spartendenken von Kunst, Archäologie oder Geschichte und gelangen von exemplarischen Beobachtungen zu übergeordneten museumswissenschaftlichen Fragestellungen. Es entsteht eine facettenreiche Beschreibung des Museums als einer Institution im Wandel. Kritische Beobachtungen aus der Praxis gelten dem Museum in seiner ganzen Bandbreite - ob National- oder Heimatmuseum, Künstlerhaus oder Industrieausstellung. Klassische Ansätze der Museumsarbeit werden ebenso analysiert wie innovative mediale Konzepte.
