Synopsis
Museum lovers know that energy and mystery run through every exhibition. Steven Lubar explains work behind the scenes--collecting, preserving, displaying, and using art and artifacts in teaching, research, and community-building--through historical and contemporary examples, especially the lost but reimagined Jenks Museum at Brown University., Curators make many decisions when they build collections or design exhibitions, plotting a passage of discovery that also tells an essential story. Collecting captures the past in a way useful to the present and the future. Exhibits play to our senses and orchestrate our impressions, balancing presentation and preservation, information and emotion. Curators consider visitors' interactions with objects and with one another, how our bodies move through displays, how our eyes grasp objects, how we learn and how we feel. Inside the Lost Museum documents the work museums do and suggests ways these institutions can enrich the educational and aesthetic experience of their visitors. Woven throughout Inside the Lost Museum is the story of the Jenks Museum at Brown University, a nineteenth-century display of natural history, anthropology, and curiosities that disappeared a century ago. The Jenks Museum's past, and a recent effort by artist Mark Dion, Steven Lubar, and their students to reimagine it as art and history, serve as a framework for exploring the long record of museums' usefulness and service. Museum lovers know that energy and mystery run through every collection and exhibition. Lubar explains work behind the scenes--collecting, preserving, displaying, and using art and artifacts in teaching, research, and community-building--through historical and contemporary examples. Inside the Lost Museum speaks to the hunt, the find, and the reveal that make curating and visiting exhibitions and using collections such a rewarding and vital pursuit.

    Shipped Fast, Well Packed & Bubble Wraped, As Described, Although On My Initial Search I Thought This Motor Was Going To Be Cheaper Being A Ryobi It Was A Good Price & Cheaper Then What I Saw Elsewhere So Thanks To The Seller That Means I Got A Good Deal. YES I WOULD RECOMMEND BUYING FROM THIS SELLER. Also Seller Ships Fast As I Previously Mentioned But USPS Took Longer To Deliver But That Just Might Be Due To My Location. Hay USPS Workers Who Might Be Reading This, What's Up With That ?
