Re-Imagining The Museum

Re-Imagining The Museum Andrea Witcomb Additional Author mixed material bibliography Taylor & Francis, Inc. 2002 176 Through a range of case- studies, including studies from the UK, North America and Australia, this book moves away from the idea that museums are always 'conservative' to suggest they have a long history of engaging with popular culture and addressing a variety of audiences. Andrea Whitcomb argues that museums are key mediators between high and popular culture and between government, media practitioners, cultural policy-makers and museums professionals. The book also analyses links between museums and the media, looks at the role of museums in cities and discusses the effects on museums of cultural policies.
