Thesis
Heritage Management of Tanks: Cultural Value of a Vehicle
The study examines current ethical frameworks and notions of value to form management decisions on the operating, display or storage of Armoured Fighting Vehicles in a museum context. It considers the significance of moving tanks and their associated sensory outputs against the established argument of displaying vehicles in a static condition to preserve the historic fabric.
