Museum visiting in Edinburgh and Glasgow – 150 years of change and continuity
Despite, or perhaps because of, being only 45 miles apart and of a similar size, Glasgow and Edinburgh are famous for their historical and cultural differences and notorious for their rivalry. This article will explore the history of museum visiting by comparing the current visitor demographics of Glasgow Museums, with those of the National Galleries and the National Museums in Edinburgh, and exploring the extent to which these differences can be…
Looking back
This editorial introduces the second of two special issues of Cultural Trends dedicated to identifying and interpreting numbers of visits to museums since the nineteenth century. The first exclusively considered UK museums – English museums, in particular. The present issue adds to that coverage of museum visiting in England, Wales and Scotland, as well as addressing visiting in France, Australia and New Zealand. The editorial reflects on the tra…
"A Completely New Approach" to Indigenous Cultural Heritage
The Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003 challenged the hegemony that Western, archaeological methodologies has held over Indigenous cultural heritage in Australia. By choosing to relinquish state control and authority over cultural heritage in favour of the expertise of Indigenous people, the Act created a unique and innovative heritage policy. Over the 10 years the Act has been in force, it has seen a variety of approaches adopted as part of m…
Museums and mortality
This article applies the idea that culture is a response to human awareness of mortality to museums through the lens of two contrasting approaches to understanding death and dying: Terror management theory (TMT), based on the work of Ernest Becker; and The Social History of Dying by Allan Kellehear. A composite theory is constructed and used to review some aspects of museum history and policy. An important factor in the origin of museums was “dea…
Religion and cultural policy
This case study compares the controversies arising from two museum displays relating to the religion in Glasgow, written from the perspective of a practitioner involved in both. One, in 1993, involved the opening of the first museum of world religions in the UK and the other, in 2009, a programme of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex art in Glasgow’s Gallery of Modern Art. The main continuity amongst the protesters was that museums …
The social impact of the arts
Museums, professionalism and democracy1
Three recent reports – Valuing Museums (2004), Capturing Cultural Value (2004) and The McMaster Review (2008) – argue that there is confusion about the role of museums in society, largely due to government instrumentalism. Capturing Cultural Value maintains that museums can overcome the dichotomy between intrinsic and instrumentalist value by focusing on public value and learning from other disciplines to articulate a more rounded view of their r…
Time to move on in the defence policy debate
Paul Dibb has been an important participant in the Australian defence policy debate. His ideas were influential in the 1987 Defence white paper, ‘The defence of Australia’ (DOD 1987). Whether you are a proponent or opponent, ‘The defence of Australia’ has long set the parameters for the defence policy debate in Australia. It institutionalised the concept of ‘strategic geography’ as the force structure determinant for the Australian Defence Force …

Essentialism, adaptation and justice
This article treats the prevalent confused mixture of utilitarian, art-and-knowledge-for-their-own-sake and ideological interpretations of the purpose of museums as a problem of epistemology, arguing that that key dimensions of museum knowledge (of objects, visitors, museums themselves, and of society) need to be integrated to achieve coherence. A new object-based, visitor-centred, storytelling epistemology is proposed. This would take an interdi…
Museums and Identity in Glasgow
In order to explore the extent to which museums can go beyond expressing and influence people's individual and communal identities, this article reviews episodes from the past 20 years in the history of one group of museums. Glasgow Museums comprise the largest civic museum service in the UK, with international quality collections of art, history and natural history. The city also suffers from some of the worst levels of health, poverty and educa…
Museum of world cultures, gothenburg
Putting up your Dukes’
Public statues that commemorate the lives and achievements of athletes are pervasive and influential forms of social memory in Western societies. Despite this important nexus between cultural practice and history making, there is a relative void of critical studies of statuary dedicated to athletes. This article will attempt to contribute to a broader understanding in this area by considering a bronze statue of Duke Paoa Kahanamoku, the Hawaiian …
Enlightenment museums
This article tests the case set out by the 2002 Declaration, signed by many of the great museums of the world, and elaborated by Neil MacGregor, the Director of the British Museum (BM), that these are universal institutions whose displays enable visitors ‘to see the world as one’ and hence promote a more tolerant society. I argue that while a universal museum could be invaluable in a world full of conflict and misunderstanding, the credibility of…
The good enough visitor
The demand that publicly funded art museums contribute to the creation of a more socially inclusive society poses a fundamental challenge to many assumptions about what these institutions are for and to how they function. To go beyond providing mere physical access to the presence of works of art (even if this is free) to providing intellectual and emotional access to the meanings of the works of art for all potential visitors and to taking a dev…

A Backbencher on Parliamentary Reform, 1831–1832
Historians have in recent years used several approaches to explain the first Reform Act. Michael Brock's elegant account sets the whole Reform crisis in its political context. D. C. Moore has attempted a ‘sociological’ explanation of ministers’ intentions, while John Milton-Smith has offered a more traditional analysis of their private papers. This emphasis on the men who framed and steered the measure through parliament perhaps obscures the role…
