Inge Daniels, What Are Exhibitions For? An Anthropological Approach, London and Oxford: Bloomsbury Academic, 2019, 256 p.
Journal Title: Martor. The Museum of the Romanian Peasant Anthropology Review - Year 2019, Vol 24, Issue
Abstract
Inge Daniel’s book talks about the importance of everyday objects in museum displays, mul-tisensory exhibitions, theatricality, using photography not as object, but as context and as a facilitator of creating atmosphere, and last but not least, about objects which end up not in museum’s stores, but in visi¬tors’ homes.
