Synopsis

The Museums Association (the world's oldest professional museum organization) held an open discussion in its centenary year of 1989. They brought together some of the world's leading museum professionals, active politicians, economists and marketing specialists. This book has grown from those lively (sometimes heated) discussions. The "real" issues which the authors address move beyond the narrow issues of professional practice which dominate so many meetings, and into the much harder world of political, economic and cultural realities. And because the authors are drawn from the museum profession worldwide, the book is truly international, reflecting issues which really affect all museums. This book should be of interest to students of museum studies and museum professionals.

About this title

From the Back Cover

Museums and art galleries have never been so much in the news as over the past decade. Museums 2000 probes instead the political, economic an cultural realities which affect museums today.
