In exploring the relationship between "ourselves" and material culture this volume places museums in an historical perspective, and as part of a political process of democratisation. The spread of museums in the 19th century was stimulated by burgeoning science and capitalism in the West; and into the 20th century by industrialisation the eventual demise of colonialism, and increasing demand for public education.

Those now rethinking the missions, ethics, roles and responsibilities of museums, must first know their own history and its uses.
