Book Synopsis Destination Culture by : Barbara Kirshenblatt-Gimblett
Book excerpt: With the question, "What does it mean to show?", the author explores the agency of display in museums and tourist attractions. She looks at how objects are made to perform their meaning by being collected and how techniques of display, not just the things shown, convey a powerful message.
