Beyond their often beautiful exhibition halls, many museums contain vast, hidden spaces in which objects may be stored, conserved, or processed. Museums can also include unseen archives, study rooms, and libraries which are inaccessible to the public. This collection of essays focuses on this domain, an area that has hitherto received little attention. Divided into four sections, the book critically examines the physical space of museum storage areas, the fluctuating historical fortunes of exhibits, the growing phenomenon of publicly visible storage, and the politics of objects deemed worthy of collection but unsuitable for display. In doing so, it explores issues including the relationship between storage and canonization, the politics of collecting, the use of museum storage as a form of censorship, the architectural character of storage space, and the economic and epistemic value of museum objects. Essay contributions come from a broad combination of museum directors, curators, archaeologists, historians, and other academics.

Over 1,000 illus. 300 in color.

Zombies on Wall Street! A vampire elected president! What can possibly be more frightening than real life? These all-new tales are done in the grand tradition of the original EC classic horror comics. The Crypt-Keeper is back, along with the Old Witch and the Vault-Keeper, to scare the $#!+ out of you! In the true TALES FROM THE CRYPT tradition, you’ll witness the most loathsome people doing the most vile, evil, and gruesome things to their victims, only to eventually have the tables turned on them in shock endings that’s will actually surprise you and mortify you! It’s old-school poetic justice with the darkest of twists! Plus truly horrible puns, of course!
