Curating Pop: Exhibiting Popular Music in the Museum
Bloomsbury Academic
2019
Abstract
Curating Pop speaks to the rapidly growing interest in the study of popular music exhibitions, which has occurred alongside the increasing number of popular music museums in operation across the world. Focusing on curatorial practices and processes, this book draws on interviews with museum workers and curators from 19 museums globally, including the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville, the Museum of Pop Culture in Seattle, and the PopMuseum in Prague. Through a consideration of the subjective experiences of curators involved in the exhibition of popular music in museums in a range of geographic locations, Curating Pop compares institutional practices internationally, illustrating the ways in which popular music history is presented to visitors in a wider sense.
