Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Using a wide number of case studies Eilean Hooper-Greenhill uses a multi-disciplinary approach to analyzing museums. Drawing on material culture studies and art history she studies the collections and how they were collected; using cultural studies and sociology she examines the social and cultural role of museums today and in the past; applying deduction theory she addresses the production of knowledge though exhibitions; and finally touching on psychology she explores the experience of museum visitors.

Synopsis:

Using a wide number of case studies, this study employs a multi-disciplinary approach to analyze objects and meaning in the museum. Focusing her attention on pedagogy and visual culture the author aims to provoke new thought and discussion on a subject of growing interest.

Synopsis:

This study focuses on objects and meaning in the museum. How do museum visitors interpret the collections they see on display and how are these interpretations influenced by the pedagogic approach taken by the museum? This book analyzes the topic of meaning making in the post-modernist museum.
