Description

Travelling the Alberta backroads to experience strange and wonderful collections that challenge assumptions about what museums are and what they can become. After visiting hundreds of museums across Alberta, Lianne McTavish chronicles some of the most challenging and unexpected sites where the idea of the museum is being reshaped. Honouring local, rural, and Indigenous knowledge, Voluntary Detours enriches critical accounts of the past, present, and future of museums.
