Debating the practices of museums; galleries; and festivals; Exhibiting Cultures probes the often politically charged relationships among aesthetics; contexts; and implicit assumptions that govern how art and artifacts are displayed and understood. The contributorsmdash;museum directors; curators; and scholars in art history; folklore; history; and anthropologymdash;represent a variety of stances on the role of museums and their function as intermediaries between the makers of art or artifacts and the eventual viewers.From the Trade Paperback edition.
