Summary:

The ecomuseum phenomenon has grown dramatically in recent years. There is now no one ecomuseum model, but rather a philosophy that has been adapted and moulded for use in a variety of situations. With many more ecomuseums being established, the international appeal and reach of the idea grows; these changes are reflected in the 'geographical' sections of this volume. Of particular significance is the rise in ecomuseology in India, China (including Taiwan), Japan, Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia, as well as significant increases in Italy, Poland, the Czech Republic and Turkey.
