For this book, Saumarez Smith has undertaken an odyssey to art museums across the globe. From Tate Modern in London to the Benesse House Museum on the Japanese island of Naoshima; from the Getty Center in Los Angeles to the Museum of New and Old Art, a ferry-ride from Hobart in Tasmania; from the Pompidou Centre in Paris to the West Bund Museum in Shanghai--he has visited them all, casting an acute eye on the way the experience of art is shaped by the buildings that house it and the organizing principles by which it is displayed. What has changed over the past century? Where the public once visited museums to be educated in art history, he argues, they are now more likely to be in search of a private, aesthetic experience. Museum displays that were automatically didactic, chronological and either national or Western in viewpoint are now thematic and global. While museums used to be invariably in city centres, they may now be in remote locations, destinations of cultural pilgrimage. And where architects once created neutral spaces in which to display art, they now build spectacular architectural landmarks, stamping an identity on run-down neighbourhoods and sparking regeneration through cultural tourism. 650 0 $a Art museums $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Art museums $x History $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Art museum architecture $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Art museum architecture $x History $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Museum techniques $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Museum techniques $x History $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Art museums $x Social aspects. 648 7 $a 1900-2099 $2 fast 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20211202014416.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B135818825A111EC99F17AB23DECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
