The last generation has seen faith groups demanding to control 'their' objects, and curators recognising that objects can only be understood within their original religious context. In recent years there has been an explosion of interest in the role religion plays in museums, with major exhibitions highlighting the religious as well as the historical nature of objects.Using examples from all over the world, Religious Objects in Museums is the first book to examine how religious objects are transformed when they enter the museum, and how they affect curators and visitors. It examines the full range of meanings that religious objects may bear - as scientific specimen, sacred icon, work of art, or historical record. Showing how objects may be used to argue a point, tell a story or promote a cause, may be worshipped, ignored, or seen as dangerous or unlucky, this highly accessible book is an essential introduction to the subject. 606 $aMuseums$xReligious aspects 606 $aMuseums$xSocial aspects 606 $aReligious articles 606 $aMuseums$xCuratorship 606 $aMuseum visitors 606 $aMuseum exhibits$xReligious aspects 606 $aMuseum exhibits$xSocial aspects 606 $aReligion and culture 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMuseums$xReligious aspects. 615 0$aMuseums$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aReligious articles. 615 0$aMuseums$xCuratorship. 615 0$aMuseum visitors. 615 0$aMuseum exhibits$xReligious aspects. 615 0$aMuseum exhibits$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aReligion and culture. 676 $a200.75 700 $aPaine$b Crispin$0732235 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463772703321 996 $aReligious objects in museums$92441453 997 $aUNINA
