A Case Study on the Turkish Experience -- French Art for All! Museum Projects in Africa 1912-1931 between Avant-garde and Colonialism Summary Museum science, museum analysis, museum history, and museum theory - all of these composite designations have come into our parlance in recent years. Above all, this expanding terminology underscores the growing scholarly interest in museums. In this new scholarship, a recurring assertion is that as an institution, the museum has largely functioned as a venue for the formation of specifically national identities. This volume, by contrast, highlights the museum as a product of transnational processes of exchange, focusing on the period from ca. 1750 to 1940 Analysis Art artifacts museum history museum Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Online resource; title from PDF title page (ebrary, viewed February 25, 2014) Subject Museums -- History Museums -- Philosophy Museums.
