Having and Belonging

Homes and Museums in Israel

Beschreibung

Examines the connection between the material culture of the private and public, homes and museums. Investigates the connection between heritage and nation building. Shows that existing museum theories, based on nations living in relative peace, cannot indiscriminately be applied in Israel, where museums seem to be part of the struggle over land.
