Description

The Museum of Babel: Meditations on the Metahistorical Turn in Museography offers a deep look into the changing landscape of modern museums. As the era of master narratives declines, museums are shifting toward a more heterogeneous approach, often looking back at their own history through refashioned cabinets of curiosity. This work explores why this return to curiosity is happening and what it means for the future of the institution. Part of the Routledge Research in Museum Studies series, this book examines the shift in museology and the return to the fragile, diverse roots of collection practices. Thurner provides a unique reflection on the identity of the museum, asking fundamental questions about what these institutions actually represent in a changing world. It is an essential read for those studying the evolution of exhibition and collection practices.
