| Abstract
|
:
|
"Museums are an international growth industry. Not only are they increasing in numbers, but they are acquiring new functions in the organization of cultural activities. It is through museums that societies represent their relationship to their own history and to that of other cultures and peoples. Today, there are great differences and conflicts both inside and outside museums about how this should best be done, leading those concerned with running them to question the traditional concepts of what a museum is, what it can offer its public, and how history is conceived and presented. Although The Museum Time -Machine deals with recent public controversies, such as those over charges, sponsorship, and political interference, it is primarily concerned with broader cultural and social questions. The debate is an international one, and The Museum Time-Machine contains contributions from France and Australia as well as Britain. Comparisons are also drawn with the USA and Canada. The contributors include both museum professionals and academics, thus providing perspectives from both 'inside' and 'outside' the museum itself."--
