Chinese Propaganda Posters at the British Library
In this article, I discuss a project designed to increase knowledge of and make more accessible a collection of post-1949 Chinese propaganda posters at the British Library, for the benefit of a global audience of researchers and interested members of the public. The project identified 90 individual items, dating from 1950 to 1982, with the bulk of the collection published in the mid-1960s just before the commencement of the Cultural Revolution. T…
A Museum Studies Approach to Heritage
Heritage’s revival as a respected academic subject has, in part, resulted from an increased awareness and understanding of indigenous rights and non-Western philosophies and practices, and a growing respect for the intangible. Heritage has, thus far, focused on management, tourism and the traditionally ‘heritage-minded’ disciplines, such as archaeology, geography, and social and cultural theory. Widening the scope of international heritage studie…

Museum Representations of Maoist China
The collection, interpretation and display of art from the People’s Republic of China, and particularly the art of the Cultural Revolution, have been problematic for museums. These objects challenge our perception of ’Chineseness’ and their style, content and the means of their production question accepted notions of how we perceive art. This book links art history, museology and visual culture studies to examine how museums have attempted to rev…

This chapter argues that this new, negative attitude was consolidated…
Museums and Mental Health
For this edition of Museum Worlds: Advances in Research, we have asked a group of museum practitioners to respond to a thought-provoking article about a Taiwanese project that explored the particular needs of visitors diagnosed with schizophrenia. Allegaert, Besley, Coleborne, Chynoweth, Gale, and Sirik have used Chen et al.’s article as a jumping off point from which to write on the broader topic of mental health provision in museums’ engagement…
A Trojan Horse? An icon of the anti-establishment at the Victoria & Albert Museum
This article explores the independently curated exhibition, Che Guevara: Revolutionary and Icon, which was on display at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, in 2006. It analyses the exhibition’s interpretive approach, as well as the tensions between the exhibition’s curator and institution. I focus, in the final instance, on the particular issues associated with the display of revolutionary material culture, as well as the phenomenon of commu…

University -offers new perspectives on the role of design, designers and the labouring classes in the early development of the predecessors of that august institution.In charting the transition from the School of Design to the South Kensington Museum, Kriegel places an emphasis on the South Kensington Museum's invention as a receptacle of superior craftsmanship, conceived to elevate British manufacturing from the (perceived) doldrums; so far, so …
