Museums and biographies both tell the stories of lives. This innovative collection examines for the first time biography - of individuals, objects and institutions - in relationship to the museum, casting new light on the many facets of museum history and theory, from the lives of prominent curators, to the context of museums of biography and autobiography. Separate sections cover individual biography and museum history, problematising individual biographies, institutional biographies, object biographies, and museums as biographies/autobiographies. These articles offer new ways of thinking about museums and museum history, exploring how biography in and of the museum enriches museum stories by stressing the inter-related nature of lives of people, objects and institutions as part of a dense web of relationships. Through their widely ranging research, the contributors demonstrate the value of thinking about the stories told in and by museums, and the relationships which make up museums; and suggest new ways of undertaking and understanding museum biographies. Dr Kate Hill is Senior Lecturer in History at the University of Lincoln.

How to handle the danger posed by a man who can’t think, but can predict—and react to—what will happen in the next few seconds? How would you handle knowing, intimately, everyone on Earth? What if you were so lucky that everything worked out in your favor? What would it be like to have—not just synesthesia, but an actual switching of sensory inputs? How would you handle being a couple of thousand years old, and still not physically mature? What if you had the power to access the original world from which fairy tales derived? And what if you suddenly discovered that you REALLY were an alien, raised by humans?
And what if these stories were early tales written by some of the best? Alfred Bester, Philip K. Dick, Gordon Dickson, R.A. Lafferty, Frank Belknap Long, Robert Silverberg, et al.?
These aren’t complex tales and don’t stand overmuch analysis. Just read them and muse to yourself…and enjoy." ( )
