Museologia
Overview
In the curiosity cabinets of the Renaissance and in the display cases of contemporary museums, the same question persists: what does it mean to collect, organize, and look at the world? In Museology, Adalgisa Lugli invites us to think of the museum not only as a place where objects are preserved, but as a space where humanity contemplates itself--a mirror of its desire to understand and shape its experience. Through lucid and reflective prose, we journey through the history of the museum from the Renaissance to the twentieth century, to understand how this institution, once questioned by the avant-gardes, has become one of the moral and aesthetic centers of the modern world: the last refuge of difference and wonder. An undisputed classic of Italian museology and a jewel of contemporary thought.
