Anglophone Museum Studies:An Overview of the Field
This paper aims to provide an overview of research in the field of anglophone museology,introducing key discussions and authors that frame the discipline.Since the 1990s,anglophone museology has grown into an internationally recognized interdisciplinary academic field.It integrates theories from multiple disciplines such as art history,cultural geography,ethnography,and history,while also encompassing areas like cultural policy,economics,visitor studies,and tourism.The diversity within museology is both a significant strength of the field and a challenge for newcomers.In recent years,the decolonization of Eurocentric museums and heritage history has also emerged as an important topic in this field.
