Many of the essays considered the primacy and limitation of education vs. interpretation; and questioned whether these were the same or closely related practices; and which was most relevant to museums now? Other essays concentrated on the efficacy of labels; the role of language; and the usefulness of object-centered approaches. Still other essays examined audience; and asked who is it in museums that is in responsible for interpretation?
