[close] Let's explore museums, one narrative at a time. This group is for all of my fellow museum registrars, historic preservation enthusiasts, art lovers, archivists, amateur archaeologists, post-colonianal scholars, museum educators, and anyone who has ever found themselves falling down a World's Fair rabbit hole. If you are fascinated with the history of museums, you've found the right place. I want to explore the institutional history of museums and am pleasantly surprised by the amount of reads out there, even if you have to search a little to find them. I hope you will join me in gaining a better understanding of the past of museums so that we can comprehend with context their important and complicated role today. Biographies, fiction, theory, text books, primary sources, historical fiction, and memoirs are all welcome, as long as they relate to the wide world of museums. My hope is that by reading a plurality of works, we can better understand this big, broad thing that is museums. So, let's dive into the cabinets of curiosities, insidious philosophies, humble beginnings, questionable practices, honorable efforts, scientific discoveries, dazzling displays, dangerous digs, stunning artwork, tedious tasks, and daring efforts that make up this nuanced field.
