Since the turn of the 21st century, there has been a significant expansion in the field of transhistorical exhibition practice--that is, exhibitions in which objects from various art-historical periods and cultural contexts are put on display together. These juxtapositions are made in an effort to question traditional museological notions like chronology, context and category in the space of the museum itself.
Drawing on the expertise of a wide range of international museum professionals, The Transhistorical Museum: Mapping the Field considers a range of such transhistorical curatorial efforts, exploring the rationale behind these projects, the particular challenges they present and the particular rewards they can offer. This volume surveys the history and future potential of the phenomenon of the transhistorical museum.

From the Back Cover
Despite this surge of interest in art-historical writing and curatorial practices, and overview and theoretical mapping of transhistoricity has so far been missing. This anthology aims to fill this gap: it charts the territory for the transhistorical by bringing together contributions by leading scholars, curators, and museum professionals of the field. It looks at the concepts that undergird the transhistorical, describes the theoretical horizon it relates to, and illuminates the practical applications it has fostered. As such, it provides the grounds for further research and practical applications.
Sinds het begin van deze eeuw is er sprake van een toenemende interesse in transhistorische ― dat wil zeggen: niet-lineaire ― vormen van tentoonstellen. Steeds meer musea en expositieruimten combineren binnen hun tentoonstellingen objecten en kunstwerken uit verschillende periodes en verschillende kunsthistorische en culturele contexten. Zulke experimenten breken met traditionele noties binnen de museologie, zoals chronologie, context, en categorie. Ze kunnen resulteren in nieuwe inzichten over historisch gewortelde veronderstellingen, maar ook een plek bieden om interpretaties van individuele objecten in relatie tot hun context en verhaal opnieuw te waarderen.
Ondanks de toenemende interesse binnen de kunstgeschiedenis, museologie, en het museumveld zelf, ontbreekt het aan een overzicht en aan het theoretisch in kaart brengen van transhistoriciteit. Dit boek wil die kloof dichten aan de hand van bijdragen van vooraanstaande academici, curatoren en museumprofessionals, zoals Mieke Bal, Jean-Hubert Martin, Ann Demeester en Hanneke Grootenboer. Het boek gaat in op de concepten die het transhistorische onderbouwen, beschrijft het theoretisch kader waar het aan raakt, en belicht de praktijk die het heeft bevorderd. Op deze manier biedt The Transhistorical Museum een startpunt voor verder onderzoek en mogelijkheden tot toepassing binnen de praktijk.
