Crisis, Reinvention and Resilience in Museums : Defence and Revolution at the Imperial War Museum, 1, Hardcover by Deans, Philip W., ISBN 3031678052, ISBN-13 9783031678059, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US This book explores museum crises. Through an investigation into the experience of the Imperial War Museum during the Second World War era, 1, it considers how crises disrupt museums and the contrasting defensive and revolutionary strategies which museums must adopt when mitigating crises. It is situated in a small but emergent literature concerning museums and crisis. Existing works mainly comprise contemporary studies on difficult museum experiences, predominantly financial difficulty, wherein the term crisis has been applied to describe an institution’s general state of malaise. This book, by contrast, presents an innovative and groundbreaking historical case study on a single museum facing wholesale physical and ideological collapse, deploying original crisis concepts to analyse different critical situations and the pathology underlying them.
