Résumé:
In 1990 Jacques Chirac, the future president of France and a passionate fan of non-European art, met Jacques Kerchache, a maverick art collector with the lifelong ambition of displaying African sculpture in the holy temple of French culture, the Louvre. Together they began laying plans, and ten years later African fetishes were on view under the same roof as the Mona Lisa. Then, in 2006, amidst a maelstrom of controversy and hype, Chirac presided over the opening of a new museum dedicated to primitive art in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower: the Musée du Quai Branly. Paris Primitive recounts the massive reconfiguration of Paris’s museum world that resulted from Chirac’s dream, set against a backdrop of personal and national politics, intellectual life, and the role of culture in French society. Along with exposing the machinations that led to the MQB’s creation, Sally Price addresses the thorny questions it raises about the legacy of colonialism, the balance between aesthetic judgments and ethnographic context, and the role of institutions of art and culture in an increasingly diverse France. Anyone with a stake in the myriad political, cultural, and anthropological issues raised by the MQB will find Price’s account fascinating.

Résumé:
Art museums have emerged in recent decades as the most vibrant and popular of all cultural institutions. Though art museums have never been more popular, their direction and values are now being contested as never before, both in the media and in the art world itself. This engaging thematic history of the art museum from its inception in the eighteenth century to the present offers an essential framework for understanding contemporary debates as they have evolved in Europe and the United States. From the visionary museums of Boullée in the eighteenth century to the new Guggenheim in Bilbao and beyond, it explores key aspects of museum theory and practice: ideals and mission; architecture; collecting, classification, and display; the public; commercialism; and restitution and repatriation. The only single volume to give a comprehensive account of the issues critical to museums, the book also highlights the challenges they will face in the future.

Résumé:
From April to October in 1964 and 1965, some 52 million people from around the world flocked to the New York World's Fair, an experience that lives on in the memory of many individuals and in America's collective consciousness. Lawrence R. Samuel offers a thought-provoking portrait of this seminal event and of the cultural climate that surrounded it, countering critics' assessment of the Fair as the "ugly duckling" of global expositions. Although much attention has been paid to the controversial role of Fair president Robert Moses, who tried to use the event to ensure his personal legacy, the Fair itself was for the great majority of visitors an overwhelmingly positive, often inspirational, and sometimes transcendent experience that truly delivered on its theme of "peace through understanding." Much of the Fair's popularity, Samuel suggests, stemmed from its looking backward as much as forward, offering visitors sanctuary from the cultural storm that was rapidly approaching in the mid-1960s. Opening just five months after President Kennedy's assassination, the Fair allowed millions to celebrate international brotherhood while the conflict in Vietnam came to a boil. The Fair glorified the postwar American dream of limitless optimism just as a counterculture of sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll was coming into being. It was, in short, the last gasp of the American Dream: The End of the Innocence.

En nous entraînant dans les coulisses des musées, ce volume fait partager la passion de l'auteure pour ces lieux fascinants et indispensables qui ont su se moderniser, se réinventer pour toucher toujours plus de publics. A travers mille anecdotes, on y flâne d'un continent à l'autre, du Louvre au musée Edo-Tokyo, du Louvre Abu Dhabi au British Museum, de l'Ermitage à la glyptothèque de Copenhague. Confrontés aujourd'hui à de nouveaux défis, comme les enjeux de marque, de diversité, de développement durable, de post-colonialisme, ou de numérique, les musées nous interrogent sur notre rapport aux objets, mais aussi au passé, à la mémoire, et à la transmission. Promenade sensible à travers le monde, ce livre ouvre la réflexion sur ce que notre monde veut transmettre aux générations futures.

Résumé:
Cet ouvrage est composé de cinq parties qui invitent à un déplacement de sens et d’idées autour des collections faisant écho aux formules dynamiques, interrogatives et inclusives que tendent à adopter les musées. Les recherches qui y sont publiées ont, pour la grande majorité, été menées dans le cadre des activités du Groupe de recherche et de réflexion CIÉCO. Les différents chapitres interrogent l’impact de l’évènementiel sur les collections ou analysent des stratégies muséales qui cherchent à valoriser les collections par les ressorts évènementiels. Cet ouvrage, qui vient combler une importante lacune dans l’étude sur les collections, s’adresse à quiconque s’intéresse au patrimoine, aux musées, aux expositions, aux œuvres d’art que ce soit dans la perspective de l’histoire de l’art, de la muséologie, des arts visuels, de l’architecture, de l’ethnographie ou de la sociologie.

Résumé:
A partir de 1930 se joue un moment décisif dans l'histoire des musées et de leur architecture, en France comme en Europe et aux Etats-Unis... A partir de 1930 se joue un moment décisif dans l'histoire des musées et de leur architecture, en France comme en Europe et aux Etats-Unis. A quelques exceptions près, tous les acteurs de ce domaine (conservateurs et architectes au premier chef) considèrent le modèle du musée classique comme caduc. Si l'espace muséal perdure dans nombre d'édifices, celui-ci se modernise et s'adapte à une demande de sobriété et de pédagogie. En France, la perspective de l'Exposition universelle de 1937 accélère les choses et pousse Auguste Perret et Le Corbusier à se positionner, chacun dans un registre spécifique. Leurs projets théoriques ne voient pas le jour mais posent des bases importantes pour la réflexion sur les nouveaux types muséaux.
