商品簡介
Arising from a conference organized by Harvard's Center for the Study of World Religions, these essays take on the problem of presenting sacred objects and themes in museums. The contributors, who are from museums throughout the world, champion disparate views about museums' obligations toward sacred objects and practices but, nevertheless, offer instructive examples and suggestions for developing draft policy guidelines. The volume includes sample international policy guidelines, a list of resources and a project bibliography. Annotation c2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
