Contributors from a variety of disciplines and institutions explore the work of museums from many perspectives, including cultural studies, religious studies, and visual and material culture. Most museums throughout the world - whether art, archaeology, anthropology or history museums - include religious objects, and an increasing number are beginning to address religion as a major category of human identity. With rising museum attendance and the increasingly complex role of religion in social and geopolitical realities, this work of stewardship and interpretation is urgent and important. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eReligion in Museums\u003c\/i\u003e is divided into six sections: museum buildings, reception, objects, collecting and research, interpretation of objects and exhibitions, and the representation of religion in different types of museums. Topics covered include repatriation, conservation, architectural design, exhibition, heritage, missionary collections, curation, collections and display, and the visitor's experience. Case studies provide comprehensive coverage and range from museums devoted specifically to the diversity of religious traditions, such as the State Museum of the History of Religion in St Petersburg, to exhibitions centered on religion at secular museums, such as \u003ci\u003eHajj: Journey to the Heart of Islam\u003c\/i\u003e, at the British Museum.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGretchen Buggeln \u003c\/b\u003eholds the Duesenberg Chair in Christianity and the Arts at Valparaiso University, Indiana, USA. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eCrispin Paine\u003c\/b\u003e is Honorary Lecturer at the Institute of Archaeology, UCL, UK. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eS.
