First Sentence
Most frequently compared to the temple or the cathedral, the museum is, in fact, closer in age to building types such as the prison, the railway station, or the department store. Read the first page

Great and Inciteful Book! 27 Feb 2006
By Laura Kopp - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
"New Museum Theory and Practice" has been a great resource for the Museum Studies course I'm taking in college. This book is a collection of essays that addresses numerous issues that are crucial to the new outlook for museums in the 21st century. Honest and up to date, the book discusses matters such as collection processing, feminism, multiculturalism, and poses questions about the basic foundations of museums as they exist today.
Great read for peeking at the vision of what could happen to our museums 24 July 2011
By Melissa Leaym-fernandez - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Great Book! This book was used in my arts administration graduate course to share what and how museums are changing to engage a public that is desensitized to thinking for themselves--about any subject! This book shows how museum change to make what they do more hands-on, interactive or touch-friendly as the public feels the need for constant entertainment. I like elements of new museum theory--especially for children butI think it is great to have traditional museums. Great book!
