Museums and Restitution: New Practices, New Approaches
| PUBLISHER | Routledge (09/10/2014) |
| PRODUCT TYPE | Hardcover (Hardcover) |
Description
This book examines contemporary approaches to restitution from the perspective of museums. It focuses on the ways in which these institutions have been addressing the subject at a regional, national and international level. In particular, it explores contemporary practices and recent claims, and investigates to what extent the question of restitution as an issue of ownership is still at large, or whether museums have found additional ways to conceptualise and practice restitution, by thinking beyond the issue of ownership. The challenges, benefits and drawbacks of recent and current museum practice are explored.
