Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Complete Handbook to the National Museum: According to the New Arrangement, With Plants and Historical Sketch of the Building, and an Appendix Relative to Pompell and Herculaneum Mu. D. Monaco has requested me to write a few words of introduction to this the fifth edition of his English Handbook, in the preparation of which I have again had the pleasure of assisting him. The rapid sale of the last edition is perhaps the best criterion of the kind appreciation extended to the work by the large English-speaking public which annually visits these splendid collections. This edition will, we hope, approve itself to archaeologists more even than its predecessor; at the same time we have felt that the work is too complete for the ordinary traveller, and accordingly we have brought out an abbreviated edition at half price which describes the principal specimens. I have acknowledged as far as possible the quotations taken from other writers, and for the assistance of students I have added a list of the principal books consulted in the course of the compilation of the work.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Complete Handbook to the National Museum: According to the New Arrangement, With Plants and Historical Sketch of the Building, and an Appendix Relative to Pompell and Herculaneum Mr. Monaco has requested me to write a few words of introduction to this the fourth edition of his English Handbook, in the preparation of which I have again had the pleasure of assisting him. The rapid sale of the last edition is perhaps the best criterion of the kind appreciation extended to the work by the large English speaking public which annually visits these splendid collections. This edition is very much more ample than the former one, and will, we hope, approve itself to archaeologists more even than its predecessor has done; at the same time we have felt that the work is too complete for the ordinary traveller, and accordingly we have marked the principal specimens with a dagger to enable him to identify them in a visit of a few hours. For my own part I desire to thank numerous kind correspondents, many of them much better versed in these matters than myself, who have pointed out errors in the former work, and have suggested improvements for the present edition. Especially am I indebted to Mr. Charles T. Gatty, whose suggestions have been extremely valuable. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: How does material culture become data? Why does this matter, and for whom? As the cultures of Indigenous peoples in North America were mined for scientific knowledge, years of organizing, classifying, and cataloguing hardened into accepted categories, naming conventions, and tribal affiliations – much of it wrong. Cataloguing Culture examines how colonialism has operated through the technologies of museum bureaucracy: the ledger book, the card catalogue, and eventually the database. As Indigenous communities reclaim what is theirs, this timely work shines a light on the importance of documentation for access to and return of cultural heritage.

Download or read book Culture Strike written by Laura Raicovich and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2021-12-14 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A leading activist museum director explains why museums are at the center of a political storm In an age of protest, cultural institutions have come under fire. Protestors have mobilized against sources of museum funding, as happened at the Metropolitan Museum, and against board appointments, forcing tear gas manufacturer Warren Kanders to resign at the Whitney. That is to say nothing of demonstrations against exhibitions and artworks. Protests have roiled institutions across the world, from the Abu Dhabi Guggenheim to the Akron Art Museum. A popular expectation has grown that galleries and museums should work for social change. As Director of the Queens Museum, Laura Raicovich helped turn that New York muni- cipal institution into a public commons for art and activism, organizing high-powered exhibitions that doubled as political protests. Then in January 2018, she resigned, after a dispute with the Queens Museum board and city officials. This public controversy followed the museum’s responses to Donald Trump’s election, including her objections to the Israeli government using the museum for an event featuring Vice President Mike Pence. In this lucid and accessible book, Raicovich examines some of the key museum flashpoints and provides historical context for the current controversies. She shows how art museums arose as colonial institutions bearing an ideology of neutrality that masks their role in upholding conservative, capitalist values. And she suggests ways museums can be reinvented to serve better, public ends.

This book was released on 2019-10-29 with total page 537 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Routledge International Handbook of New Digital Practices in Galleries, Libraries, Archives, Museums and Heritage Sites presents a fascinating picture of the ways in which today's cultural institutions are undergoing a transformation through innovative applications of digital technology. With a strong focus on digital design practice, the volume captures the vital discourse between curators, exhibition designers, historians, heritage practitioners, technologists and interaction designers from around the world. Contributors interrogate how their projects are extending the traditional reach and engagement of institutions through digital designs that reconfigure the interplay between collections, public knowledge and civic society. Bringing together the experiences of some of today’s most innovative cultural institutions and thinkers, the Handbook provides refreshingly new ideas and directions for the exciting digital challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. As such, it should be essential reading for academics, students, designers and professionals interested in the production of culture in the post-digital age.
