Volume 1 in a series designed to act as a forum for the dissemination and discussion of new research currently being undertaken in the field of Museum Studies. The series aims to cover the whole museum field and to broadly address the history and operation of the museum as a cultural phenomenon. The papers published are of a high academic standard, and are also intended to relate directly to matters of immediate museum concern. The publication aims to fill a major gap in the present scope of museum-based literature. This volume is concerned with the ways in which meaning is created through museum objects, and the processes which this involves. The papers, however, adopt a wide diversity of stances, ranging widely across the field; some take a broadly theoretical line, and others examine specific areas like museum education and the relationship of museums to native peoples. The volume concludes with a Review Section, covering recent books, exhibitions and conferences.

Canvasses past and contemporary problems of cultural representation and the relationship between the artist, the museum and society.
Management in museums has become a key issue in the past decade, a reflection of the challenges that museums face in operating in a a rapidly changing environment. Research in this field has developed significantly and this volume brings together some major contributions. The authors are either academics in the management field or museum managers themselves, the latter reflecting either on museum practice in the general, or utilising organisational theory to analyse their personal experiences.
The relationship between science and the public is one of the great contemporary debates. Understanding between scientists and non-scientists is a key figure in the dialogue and here the interpretation of science in museums has a vital part to play.
