Sinossi

"Religion and Museums" explores the dynamic relationship between museums and religious faith, examining how these institutions shape our understanding of diverse religious traditions through the display of religious artifacts. Museums, often seen as neutral spaces, actively influence religious narratives and identities, constructing particular interpretations of faith. Intriguingly, museological practices such as conservation and exhibition design play a significant role in shaping the meaning attributed to religious objects.

 
The book traces the history of collecting religious artifacts, from early cabinets of curiosities to modern exhibitions that aim to foster interfaith dialogue. It grapples with the ethical and political dimensions of exhibiting religious heritage, especially considering issues like colonialism and cultural appropriation.

 
The book progresses through historical context, challenges in interpretation, and case studies of museum exhibitions, ultimately proposing ethical guidelines for museums engaging with religious artifacts. This book’s unique value lies in its approach to museums not merely as preservers, but as active shapers of religious discourse.

Portal - San Francisco's Ferry...

John King

A two-time Pulitzer finalist explores the story of American urban design through San Francisco's iconic Ferry Building. 
 
 
 
Conceived in the Gilded Age, the Ferry Building opened in 1898 as San Francisco's portal to the world—the terminus of the transcontinental railway and a showcase of civic ambition. In silent films and World's Fair postcards, nothing said "San Francisco" more than its soaring clock tower. But as acclaimed architectural critic John King recounts, the rise of the automobile and double-deck freeways severed the city from its beloved structure. King's narrative spans the rise and fall and rebirth of the Ferry Building, introducing colorful figures who fought to preserve its character (and the city's soul)—from architect Arthur Page Brown and legendary columnist Herb Caen to poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti and Senator Dianne Feinstein. A microcosm of the changing American waterfront, the saga of the Ferry Building explores the tensions of tourism and development—and the threat that sea level rise poses to a landmark that in the twenty-first century remains as vital as ever.
