This book was an assigned reading for my Curatorship History and Evolution class at uni.

Another great book if you're thinking of spending any time working within the Museum profession. A good collection of theories and practices discussed and implemented throughout history. Significant for understanding where 21st-century Museums find themselves contextually and interesting to see that some 'ground-breaking' ideas are actually hundreds of years in development
