By setting the museum in its cultural and intellectual contexts, Nature and culture explores twentieth-century collecting and display, and the status of the object in the modern world. Beginning with the origins of the Manchester Museum, accounting for its development as an internationally renowned university museum, and concluding at its major expansion at the turn of the millennium, this book casts new light on the history of museums. How did objects become knowledge? Who encountered museum objects on their way to museums? What happened to collections within the museum? How did visitors use and respond to objects? In answering these questions, Nature and culture illuminates not only the history of one institution, but also contributes to wider discussions in the history of science, cultural history and museology. 606 $aMuseums$xCollection management$zEngland$zManchester$xHistory 606 $aMuseums$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aMuseums$xCollection management 610 $aEuropean collections. 610 $aJohn Leigh Philips. 610 $aManchester Geological Society. 610 $aManchester Museum. 610 $aManchester Natural History Society. 610 $abiodiversity. 610 $abotany. 610 $acivic identity. 610 $acultural landscape. 610 $aenvironmentalism. 610 $ageology. 610 $amuseological changes. 610 $apriceless objects. 610 $apublic engagement. 610 $ascientific disciplines. 610 $atwentieth-century Britain. 610 $azoology. 615 0$aMuseums$xCollection management$xHistory. 615 0$aMuseums$xHistory 615 0$aMuseums$xCollection management. 676 $a069.0942733 700 $aAlberti$b Samuel J.
