Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is an archival collection reporting on the history and evolution of museums and their far-reaching effects on society. From the 19th-century foundation of national museums to the present day's proliferation of special-purpose public and private museums, the author explores the development of museums as institutions and the ways in which they have reflected and shaped the intellectual, social, and political landscape. The in-depth analysis delves into the motivations behind the creation of museum collections, examines how acquisitions, exhibitions, and displays can carry hidden assumptions and biases, and also investigates how recent social changes have affected the way museums operate.
