Summary, etc "The Porous Museum examines questions of museum practice, aesthetics and politics through a focused study of The National Museum of the Romanian Peasant in Bucharest. The museum has functioned successively as a museum of art, a communist museum, the headquarters of the communist secret police, and a museum of folk art. Gabriela Nicolescu traces the museum's spectacular biography and follows the transformation of its practices and aesthetics through three very different political regimes in the 20th and early 21st century: monarchist, socialist and post-socialist.

She considers questions of recycling and rupture, with some exhibits and practices being carried over from one regime or historical period to another, while others are discarded in favour of the completely new. In this the practices of the museum mimic that of the wider nation state and the ways in which the past is remembered or rejected. The interdependency of politics, ethics and aesthetics that Nicolescu terms 'porosity' is an attribute of museums all over the world. Drawing on original anthropological research in a key ethnographic museum in Romania and in other anthropological museums in eastern and western Europe, the book moves beyond regional and media stereotypes of the folk, of what is an ethnographic/ anthropological museum, and of socialism or eastern Europe.
