Museums today are a cultural battleground. Who should decide what is put on display and how it is presented? Who gets to set the narrative? In this passionately argued book, Jon Sleigh maintains that museums must be for all people and inclusion must be at the heart of everything they do. But what does good inclusion look like in practice? Cleverly structured like a museum tour, Sleigh uses seven illustrative museum objects from seven very different museums to explore such wide-ranging issues as trust-building, representation, digital access, conflicting narratives, removal from display and restitution.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 203mmItem Length: 127mmAuthor: Jon SleighGenre: Language & ReferenceTopic: Social Sciences, Society & CultureBook Series: What Is It For?Type: TextbookRelease Year: 2024 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
