An account of how museums have staged, prescribed and accommodated a repertoire of bodily practices, from their emergence in the eighteenth century onwards. It discusses the politics and practice of visitor studies, and differentiation and exclusion of certain bodies on the basis of age, gender, educational attainment, ethnicity and disability.
