Description

The Museum of Babel examines how contemporary museums are fundamentally transforming their approach to curation and display. As traditional museum narratives lose their dominant hold and the new museology matures, institutions worldwide are embracing a return to the heterogeneous, curiosity-driven models they once rejected. Thurner's work explores this significant shift in museum practice and questions what museums truly represent in their evolving roles. This Routledge Research in Museum Studies publication offers essential insight into why museums increasingly exhibit their own histories through reimagined cabinets of curiosity. The book provides scholarly reflection on the essential question of what museums are actually museums of, making it vital reading for museum professionals, academics, students, and anyone interested in how cultural institutions are redefining themselves and their purpose in contemporary society.

Key Features

The Museum of Babel is part of the Routledge Research in Museum Studies series, providing academic rigour and current scholarship on museum theory.

Thurner examines the philosophical shift from master narratives to heterogeneous curation in modern museums through metahistorical analysis.

This book explores how museums now incorporate cabinets of curiosity and institutional history into their own exhibition strategies.

Published by Routledge, this research work is essential for museum professionals, curators, academics and students studying contemporary museography.
