In this seminal work, Alice Stevenson examines how artists' work influences museum discourse and public engagement with ancient artifacts. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Drawing on case studies from the British Museum, the Egyptian Museum in Turin, and the State Museum of Egyptian Art in Munich, this book assesses the motivations behind these interventions and their lasting impact. Through an evidence-based approach, Stevenson offers new insights into how curators, scholars, and artists can collaborate to create more meaningful and politically engaged museum experiences. Of particular interest to Egyptologists, museum professionals, and contemporary art scholars, this work redefines the role of artistic intervention in shaping our understanding of ancient cultures. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alice Stevenson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1800087551\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781800087552\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e UCL Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/06\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 218\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.75d","brand":"Alice Stevenson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46927904735487,"sku":"9781800087552","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_995d0f90-f610-4ba1-b0a5-8fdf2eadc464.jpg?v=1749373331","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/contemporary-art-and-the-display-alice-stevenson-9781800087552","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
