James (Hrsg.) Cuno

Whose Culture?

The Promise of Museums and the Debate Over Antiquities

Buch

In Who Owns Antiquity?, James Cuno assembles a group of eminent museum directors, curators, and scholars to explain for themselves what's at stake in the international controversy over who owns antiquities - and why the museums' critics couldn't be more wrong. Whose Culture? argue that modern nation-states have at best a dubious connection with the ancient cultures they claim to represent. In addition to the editor, the contributors are Kwame Anthony Appiah, Sir John Boardman, Michael F. Brown, Derek Gillman, Neil MacGregor, John Henry Merryman, Philippe de Montebello, David I. Owen, and James C. Y. Watt.
