Synopsis

This volume explores the evolving concepts of authenticity and replication in the interpretation, display, and conservation of cultural heritage. Challenging traditional Western emphasis on original materials, the papers examine how scientific analysis, historical context, and conceptual significance all shape our understanding of what is considered the ‘real thing.’ Contributors discuss the role of replicas, shifting curatorial approaches, and the complex decision-making faced by conservators, curators, and historians in today’s heritage practice.
