Download or read book A History of the World in 100 Objects written by Neil MacGregor and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2011-10-06 with total page 564 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book takes a dramatically original approach to the history of humanity, using objects which previous civilisations have left behind them, often accidentally, as prisms through which we can explore past worlds and the lives of the men and women who lived in them. The book's range is enormous. It begins with one of the earliest surviving objects made by human hands, a chopping tool from the Olduvai gorge in Africa, and ends with an object from the 21st century which represents the world we live in today. Neil MacGregor's aim is not simply to describe these remarkable things, but to show us their significance - how a stone pillar tells us about a great Indian emperor preaching tolerance to his people, how Spanish pieces of eight tell us about the beginning of a global currency or how an early Victorian tea-set tells us about the impact of empire. Each chapter immerses the reader in a past civilisation accompanied by an exceptionally well-informed guide. Seen through this lens, history is a kaleidoscope - shifting, interconnected, constantly surprising, and shaping our world today in ways that most of us have never imagined. An intellectual and visual feast, it is one of the most engrossing and unusual history books published in years.

Book excerpt: Since the opening in 1997 of the Guggenheim Bilbao, designed by Frank Gehry, museum architecture has enjoyed worldwide attention on an unprecedented scale. That single watershed project demonstrated to municipalities that architecture has the power to transform the image of an entire city, thus making the turn of the twenty-first century the unofficial age of the museum building. New Museums examines the boom in high-design museum projects in detail, beginning with the Guggenheim Bilbao’s groundbreaking role in the development of contemporary museum architecture. It continues with a beautifully illustrated tour of 30 examples of the most innovative and exciting museum architecture around the world, including Tadao Ando’s Museum of Modern Art in Fort Worth, Zaha Hadid’s Contemporary Arts Center in Cincinnati, Renzo Piano’s Nasher Sculpture Center in Dallas, and many others.

Download or read book Museums in a Troubled World written by Robert R. Janes and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-05-12 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are Museums Irrelevant? Museums are rarely acknowledged in the global discussion of climate change, environmental degradation, the inevitability of depleted fossil fuels, and the myriad local issues concerning the well-being of particular communities – suggesting the irrelevance of museums as social institutions. At the same time, there is a growing preoccupation among museums with the marketplace, and museums, unwittingly or not, are embracing the values of relentless consumption that underlie the planetary difficulties of today. Museums in a Troubled World argues that much more can be expected of museums as publicly supported and knowledge-based institutions. The weight of tradition and a lack of imagination are significant factors in museum inertia and these obstacles are also addressed. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, combining anthropology ethnography, museum studies and management theory, this book goes beyond conventional museum thinking. Robert R. Janes explores the meaning and role of museums as key intellectual and civic resources in a time of profound social and environmental change. This volume is a constructive examination of what is wrong with contemporary museums, written from an insider’s perspective that is grounded in both hope and pragmatism. The book’s conclusions are optimistic and constructive, and highlight the unique contributions that museums can make as social institutions, embedded in their communities, and owned by no one.
Download or read book Museums written by Giulia Camin and published by White Star Publishers. This book was released on 2007 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the guardians of the world's artistic heritage, museums have always played in important role in our culture. However, the buildings themselves are sometimes superb masterpieces and splendid examples of a vast array of styles. From the controversial Louvre Pyramid to the stylistic elegance of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, this sophisticated work offers an overview of the architecture of the world's most famous museums. Giulia Camin, the author, has written a superb history of museums accompanied by architectural plans, detailed drawings and photographs of the interiors and façades. The visual images are interspersed with information about the architects and engineers who played a key role in the design and construction of these important buildings. The book focuses on a selection of museums scattered all over the world, including the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, the Prado in Madrid, the Hermitage in Saint Petersburg and the huge Smithsonian Complex in Washington DC. The volume takes the reader on a tour of several modern masterpieces, such as the Jewish Museum in Berlin, designed by Daniel Libeskind, and the Guggenheim Museum of Bilbao by Frank Gehry, considered by many to be the most important museum building of the 20th century. The photographs, commissioned specially for the book, show the innovative design of the interior of the Yad Vashem Museum in Jerusalem, where the different heights of the ceilings and varying intensity of the lighting of the mainly underground galleries create the ideal atmosphere for recalling the Holocaust. The Oceanographic Museum of Monaco, in contrast, stands almost 1000 feet above sea level and is topped by a first-class restaurant that offers panoramic views over the principality and the coast. This book is an essential resource for students of architecture, professional architects and culture-loving travelers eager to visit some of the most famous museums in the world. 686 colour photographs
