The Classic or older essays in the compilation are focused and thoughtful. Some of the newer essays lack focus or reiterate a problem with suggesting solutions. The Korn essay about "intentionality" is an example of a piece that has some interesting ideas (intentionality is more important than objectives) yet never provides a roadmap or examples of how to implement her theory. Most of the essays originally appeared in journals or other books that you may already have on your shelf.
This book covers a variety of topics that effect museums like redefining what a museum is, engaging communities, interpretation, exhibits, museum ideology, and so on. I had to buy this book for my graduate work, but it was worth the money! It provided me with a lot of great quotes and evidence in my papers.
Gail Anderson has spoken at my university and with the master's program I'm in, and she's great. This book has a lot of great sources.
Best textbook I've ever read, and it wasn't even required for class. The articles are topical, engaging, and cover a wide range of subjects.
Love this text--great read for museum professionals. Good way to bring energy and enthusiasm to the group. Good exercises included.
It did not even come Order was cancelled.
