Exhibition Experiments is a lively collection that considers experiments with museological form that challenge our understanding of - and experience with - museums. The book explores examples of museum experimentalism in light of cutting-edge museum theory; draws on a range of global and topical examples, including museum experimentation, exhibitionary forms, the fate of conventional notions of ‘object’ and ‘representation’, and the impact of these changes; brings together an international group of art historians, anthropologists, and sociologists to question traditional disciplinary boundaries; considers the impact of technology on the museum space; tackles a range of examples of experimentalism from many different countries, including Australia, Austria, Germany, Israel, Luxembourg, Sweden, the UK and the US; and examines the changes and challenging new possibilities facing museum studies.
