Rezensionen
"[Barrett]constructs a framework within which it is possible to both confront some startling realities about the gap between museums' purported 'public' role and their efficacy and relevance in the 'public sphere', and consider initiatives that might rectify this situation."
"An elegant application of Habermas' theory of the public sphere to museums, this book adds greatly to our understanding of the nature of public museums. The focus on the importance of spaciality and vision in the history of museums and public spaces is particularly enlightening."
"Barrett tackles head on the assumption that the museum is a public institution. She artfully unravels the many publics of contemporary museum talk - public space, public culture, public intellectual, public sphere. At last museum scholars and practitioners have a book that gives these terms historical specificity and theoretical precision. Museums and the public sphere is must read for any one who believes in museums, their relevance and their future."
