"Culture on Display invites the reader to visit culture. Reflecting on the contemporary proliferation of sites displaying culture in visitable form, it offers fresh ways of thinking about tourism, leisure and heritage." "This is an important book for undergraduate and postgraduate students of cultural policy, cultural and media studies and sociology, as well as academic researchers in these fields. It will also be of considerable value to students of sociology of culture, cultural politics, arts administration and cultural management." --Book Jacket.
