Description
Tony Bennett's Museums, Power, Knowledge brings together new research and essays to offer a critical genealogy of the public museum. This collection spans eighteenth to twenty-first centuries, discussing museum practices in Britain, Australia, the USA, France and Japan, and explores the shifting political logics of museums over the modern period. By examining natural history, anthropological art, geological and history museums, Bennett sheds light on the politics of collecting and display. The result is a compelling account that will be of interest to researchers, teachers and students working in museum and heritage studies, cultural history, cultural studies and sociology, as well as museum professionals and visitors. This collection offers a unique perspective on the development of critical museology, providing valuable insights for anyone interested in understanding the role of museums in society.
