Changing Meanings of Place, Community, and Culture

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Museums in the Digital Age: Changing Meanings of Place, Community, and Culture first provides a theoretical framework of how the critical notions of place, community, and culture are changing in the digital age, respective to the field of museology. In order to illustrate these points, the book then presents five case studies of the most technologically advanced art museums in the United States today: - The Indianapolis Museum of Art - The Walker Art Center - The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art - The Museum of Modern Art - The Brooklyn Museum To showcase how the use of technology in museums should be understood as factors directly related to the museums' notion of community, local culture, and place, whether these places are in mid-America, urban metropolises, or ethnically diverse and underserved communities.
