Natasha Eaton Boeken

Natasha Eaton theorizes the relationship between art and empire through analysis of the interconnected visual cultures of British and Mughal empires in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century India.

Exploring the concepts of collecting and art-making, this book delves into unconventional spaces such as wonder houses and missionary museums in both Britain and South Asia. It examines how these environments shape the understanding of art and collecting, presenting a critical perspective on museums as evolving institutions. Through its analysis, the work invites readers to reconsider traditional narratives surrounding art and its collection in a broader cultural context.
