Over two years the Institute worked in collaboration with The British Museum on a series of in-focus displays, using the museum's collections to examine inscription, unidentified museum objects, magic and masking. The small but innovative displays brought together objects from diverse cultures and periods, but concentrated on visual and thematic qualities rather than the museum's usual chronological or cultural criteria. Object Cultures commemorates the four exhibitions, bringing together in one volume the information leaflets originally produced to accompany the individual shows, with specially commissioned installation photographs. Essays by Stephen Feeke, James Putnam and Will Rea, with catalogue entries from a variety of contributors.
