The same is true of histories of art, in which artworks are often presented as purely visual objects. The Museum of the Senses offers a sensory history of art and collections, revealing how people used to handle, smell and even taste artworks and artefacts. Topics range from the tactile power of relics to the sensuous allure of cabinets of curiosities, and from the feel of a Rembrandt to the scent of Monet's garden. The book concludes with a discussion of how contemporary museums are stimulating the senses through interactive and multimedia displays. Constance Classen, a leading authority on the cultural history of the senses, has produced a fascinating study of sensual and emotional responses to artefacts from the middle ages to the present. The Museum of the Senses is an important read for anyone interested in the history of art as well as for students and researchers in cultural studies and museum studies."--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aArt museums$xSocial aspects 606 $aMaterial culture$xSocial aspects 606 $aArt appreciation$xHistory 606 $aSensory evaluation 615 0$aArt museums$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aMaterial culture$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aArt appreciation$xHistory. 615 0$aSensory evaluation. 676 $a708 700 $aClassen$b Constance$f1957-$01472538 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910795600103321 996 $aThe museum of the senses$93791723 997 $aUNINA
