[ePub] Inventing the Performing Arts: Modernity and Tradition in Colonial Indonesia by Matthew Isaac Cohen at Arts-Photography

Description

This is the first book to examine; in depth; the multi-million pound redisplay and reinterpretation process in British museums in the early twenty-first century. Acknowledging the importance of the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) as project catalyst; Hannah Paddon explains and explores the complex process; from the initial stages of project conceptualisation to the final stages of museum re-opening and exhibition evaluation. She also provides an in-depth look; using three case study museums; at the factors which shape each museum redisplay project including topics such as museum architecture; government agendas and the exhibition team. Finally; the book offers discussions and conclusions around pitfalls and successes and thoughts about the future of collection redisplay.
