Contents:

Introduction: Thinking about museums -- Do museums still need objects? -- Whose objects? Whose culture? The contexts of repatriation -- Where is the East? -- Where have all the grown-ups gone? -- The birth and the death of a museum -- Museums, public space, and civic identity.

Summary: Conn ranges across a wide variety of museum types--from art and anthropology to science and commercial museums--asking questions about the relationship between museums and knowledge, about the connection between culture and politics, about the role of museums in representing non-Western societies, and about public institutions and the changing nature of their constituencies.
