From the Museum of Modern Art in New York to the Tate in London, this book examines the ways in which major international museums, galleries and arts-funding bodies address their roles in relation to wider cultural and political issues such as education, public accountability and avant-gardism. A series of case studies provide information about the origins and development of a selection of significant art institutions, and a critique of display and management within cultural organizations. It also sets out the major debates in this field, including the fundamental question as to what actually consititutes an institution.

Part 1 Whose museum? whose gallery?: from penitentiary to "Temple of Art" - early metaphors of improvement at the Millbank Tate, Brandon Taylor; culture, class, city - the national gallery, London and the spaces of education, 1822-1857, Colin Trodd; 1968 and all that - the founding of the national portrait gallery, Washington DC, Marcia Pointon; the South Kensington museum - the building of the house of Henry Cole, Louise Purbrick. Part 2 Artifacts, identity and nationhood: the battle over "The West as America", 1991, Alan Wallach; blinded by science - ethnography at the British museum, Annie E. Coombes; the politics of display - a "literary and historical" definition of Quebec in 1830s British North America, Karen Stanworth; Norman Rockwell and the Saturday Evening Post - advertising, iconography and mass production 1897-1929, C.E. Brookeman. Part 3 A proper place for the modern: cultured into crisis - the arts council of Great Britain, Jonathan Harris; the politics of presentation - the museum of modern art, New York, Christoph Grunenberg; inside-out - assumptions of "English" modernism in the Whitechapel art gallery, London, 1914, Juliet Steyn; the frightening freedom of the brush - the Boston Institute of Contemporary Art and Modern Art, Serge Guilbaut. Part 4 Museum spaces and contemporary art: questioning the structure - the museum context as content, Anne Rorimer; the museum of contemporary art, Los Angeles - an account of collaboration between artists, trustees, and an architect, Jo-Anne Berelowitz.
