What’s Missing?

In many museums in Europe that exhibit objects of everyday culture, transformation processes are taking place. Which objects, narratives, methods and actors have been neglected in previous reflections on European ways of life? How can the museum collections find new relevance with regard to contemporary issues and new socio-political contexts? The authors, coming from theory and practice, discuss the change in collection and exhibition policies, combining overview articles and object portraits. Thus, the book encourages to deal with the blind spots in museum work.
