Description
Imagined MuseumsIn this first cultural history of modern Moroccan art and its museums, Pieprzak goes beyond the investigation of national institutions to treat the history and evolution of multiple museumsfrom official state and corporate exhibition spaces to informal, popular, street-level art and performance spacesas cultural architectures that both enshrine the past and look to the future.
