In English and Spanish. Heavily illustrated. "Although the museum as closed box has survived until the present day, and been endowed with new value as a reaction to the dominant concept of transparency, demonstrating how far the idea of neutrality can be no more than a simulacrum, there is no doubt that since the rupture of the avantgarde movements, and the dissolution of this closed box, new possibilities have been opened up, which have continued along their own lines of expansion.[...] The box, first turned to glass, has in the end disappeared. The objects once contained in the museum have been set free, to openly characterize the city and the landscape." --Introduction. // 1900-1999, Architecture 20e siècle, Architecture des musées, Architecture, Modern, Architecture, Modern 20th century, Arkitektur museer, Art museum architecture 20th century, Museibyggnader, Museos Arquitectura, Museum architecture, Museum architecture 20th century, Museumsbau, Musées (édifices), museums (buildings)
