Making histories in museums
Résumé
Museums devoted to the representation and interpretation of cities are a relatively recent phenomenon. With few exceptions, city museums all over the world have preferred collections of art, antiquities and science to the study of the city itself. This book explores the emergence of many new city history museums, and the nature of the cities and histories they represent. It examines historiographical, cultural and museological issues and ideas involved, and is searching, critical yet positive, encouraging and introducing new ideas
