In these articles, a wide range of theory in materiality is investigated through complex objects and things ... [but] the collection's real strength emerges when the papers are considered as a group. Together, the papers present a broad swath of the most prominent (and sexiest) thinking and theory in museums and materiality... The collection is thus a valuable contribution to an ever-expanding body of work on objects and the cultural spaces and lives in which they resonate. - Diana E. Marsh, Museum Anthropology
