A Handbook for Academic Museums: Exhibitions & Education

This is the first of two companion volumes which aim to aggregate in one convenient place good current thinking on the opportunities and issues unique to academic museums. The result is a collection of best practices, innovations, and sound approaches that offer guidance and inspiration for the entire community, large and small, well-endowed and modestly-resourced alike. This book is above all - a practical resource.
