Summary:
Good exhibition design involves more than the presentation of art, objects and ideas, and also more than the mere transmission of information: A successful and compelling concept must tell a story and contribute to a deeper understanding.

Summary:
Good exhibition design involves more than the presentation of art, objects and ideas, and also more than the mere transmission of information: A successful and compelling concept must tell a story and contribute to a deeper understanding. It must not only allow but initiate and inspire communication and interaction between the exhibit and the observer. The interdisciplinary fusion of architecture, design, digital media, and scenography enables almost unlimited creativity. The permanent and temporary projects presented in this volume include museums, art exhibitions, and installations as well as the presentation of products at fair booths and showrooms. All concepts behind the projects are distinguished by creative design ideas and their elaboration.

Summary:
What can we learn about nationalism by looking at a country’s cultural institutions? How do the history and culture of particular cities help explain how museums represent diversity? Artifacts and Allegiances takes us around the world to tell the compelling story of how museums today are making sense of immigration and globalization. Based on firsthand conversations with museum directors, curators, and policymakers; descriptions of current and future exhibitions; and inside stories about the famous paintings and iconic objects that define collections across the globe, this work provides a close-up view of how different kinds of institutions balance nationalism and cosmopolitanism. By comparing museums in Europe, the United States, Asia, and the Middle East, Peggy Levitt offers a fresh perspective on the role of the museum in shaping citizens. Taken together, these accounts tell the fascinating story of a sea change underway in the museum world at large.
