In Part III, the focus is the internal “processes” of various kinds within museums that develop and deliver the resources discussed above into outputs or products delivered to the publics considered in the last part of the book. A group of chapters considers the development of exhibitions, trends in permanent and temporary museum exhibitions, and exhibition design and display. Two chapters survey developments in curatorial theory and practice, seen here as connected to but not limited by collections and exhibitions, in which curators acquire, select, arrange, research, present, and interpret things for people to look at. This section also considers repatriation and restitution, including of human remains, a process that is assuming increasing importance for museum practice, raising, as it does, questions about the very nature of museums, the ethics of collections and displays, and relationships with source communities.
