Beyond the Halls with Mackenzie Finklea

Anthropologist and museum-lover Mackenzie Finklea talks about her book Beyond the Halls: An Insider’s Guide to Loving Museums (New Degree Press, 2019) and gushes with host Paula Blair about her favourite types of museum and exhibits. We touch on digitization, colonialism, learning through interactivity, architecture, guided tours, geology, astrophysics, palaeontology, archaeology, place, and much more.
