[DOC] Everything Takes Forever by Victor Kerlow at Arts-Photography

Description

Museums reflect a nations character; as well as define it. Museums around the world have been shaped by globalization; and in turn have shaped a global publics understanding of local; regional; or national identity. Essayists consider the politics of museum interpretation in the global context; issues of cultural patrimony and heritage tourism; the risks of crossing boundaries and borders to present controversial subjects; and strategies for engaging audiences and communities. International case studies from Germany; Morocco; Saudi Arabia; Qatar; South Africa; Niger; and Vietnam underscore the common motives and sensibilities; as well as the challenges; of the worlds museums in their efforts to educate and inspire.
