After World War II, museum and gallery exhibitions, industrial and trade fairs, biennials, triennials, festivals and world''s fairs increasingly came to be used as locations for the exercise of "soft power," for displays of cultural diplomacy between nations and as spaces for addressing areas of social and political contestation. Exhibitions Beyond Boundaries opens with a substantial introduction to the key debates, followed by case studies that advance the field of exhibition histories both geographically and methodologically, focusing on postwar transnational exchange and the wider networks engendered through exhibitions.

Chapters trace relations across Africa, Asia, Europe, the Middle East, the Pacific, and the United States of America, drawing on a range of approaches and perspectives, principally from art and design history but also from social, economic and political history, and museum studies. Featured case studies include the presentation of African-American Art at FESMAN ''66 and FESTAC ''77, the US¢s 1961 Small Industries Exhibition in Colombo, Israel''s early appearances at the Venice Biennale, the Vatican Pavilion at the 1964-1965 New York World''s Fair, and Hong Kong''s Pavilion at Expo 70 in Tokyo.
