Samenvatting
Essays about the museums from personal experience and historical study, and from the memories of museum visitors, curators and scholars. Museums are sites of interaction between personal and collective identities, between memory and history. The contributors discuss museums across disciplinary bounderies that have separated art museums from natural history museums or local history museums from national galleries.
