Abstract

Museum Making: Narratives, Architectures, Exhibitions, published by Routledge in February 2012, is an important contribution to the increasingly growing Museum Meanings series. The editors of this volume, Suzanne MacLeod —scholar from the University of Leicester—, Laura Hourston Hanks, and Jonathan Hale —of the University of Nottingham, United Kingdom— present both their research interests as well as the richness and diversity of the museum studies as an interdisciplinary academic field. The central theme: the notion of narrative environments, serves to address museological experiences which integrate objects, spaces, stories, and people as part of a process of storytelling that emphasizes the nature, the potential, and the connection that museums have with human perception, imagination, and memory, topics that undergo critical review in this contribution.
