The museum as an institution has experienced significant growth since the 18th century, particularly in Europe and China, leading to the creation of new museums and the redesigning of existing ones. Concurrently, the scholarly reflection on exhibitions has evolved into a distinct academic discipline. The concept of cultural heritage, which encompasses local, regional, and national references as well as global sites representing the entire heritage of humankind, has played a pivotal role in this cultural evolution, known as glocalization. The essays in this collection provide insights into these complex developments by offering diverse perspectives and illustrating the current state of affairs through contemporary examples.
