Description
Museum Storage and Meaning: Tales from the Crypt explores the often-overlooked spaces within museums, revealing the complex relationships between storage, canonization, collecting, censorship, architecture, and the value of museum objects.
This collection of essays sheds light on the politics of collecting, the role of storage as a form of control, and the ways in which these spaces reflect the cultural and historical contexts in which they were built.
