About this ebook
Museums are where societies decide what's worth remembering. This book tells the story of how private collections of princes and scholars became public institutions. It follows the rise of the great national museums, the age of empire and plunder, and the modern museum as a place of education, entertainment and debate. It examines the questions museums face today about ownership, repatriation, representation and relevance in a digital world. A Brief History of Museumsoffers an accessible and thought-provoking look behind the glass.
