Abstract:
Destination Culture deals with agencies of display in museums, festivals, world's fair, historical recreations, and tourist attractions. Drawing on the history of the avant-garde and the implications of its practices, Destination Culture attempts to theorize the artifact and the logic of exhibition in the context of lively debates about the death of museums, ascendancy of tourism, production of heritage, limits of multiculturalism, social efficacy of the arts, and circulation of value in the life world

The agency of display: Objects of ethnography ; Exhibiting Jews -- A second life as heritage: Destination museum ; Ellis Island ; Plimoth Plantation -- Undoing the ethnographic: Confusing pleasures ; Secrets of encounter -- Circulating Value: Disputing Taste.
Abstract:
With the question, "What does it mean to show?", the author explores the agency of display in museums and tourist attractions. She looks at how objects are made to perform their meaning by being collected and how techniques of display, not just the things shown, convey a powerful message
