Descrição
Resumo:The rich contents of this Artefacts volume, the twelfth in the series, clearly show how complex and entangled are the narratives behind the public display of scientific artifacts in national and international exhibitions and science museums in the twentieth century. The constant tension between basic science and technological applications, the multilayered role of history, the constant appearance and disappearance of collections of artifacts, and the search for a balance between entertainment and education come to light.
