The Representation of the Past by Kevin Walsh
Examines how the recent boom in the museum and heritage industry has led to its increasing commercialisation, which, Walsh argues, frequently serves only to distance us from our own heritage.`This book's greatest merit is the fact that it reports on the activities which are currently going on in museums to challenge the passive window-shopping approach to museum visits;..' - Times Higher Education Supplement
