Written in a style that is engaging, humorous and honest, it is the first single-volume, substantive text to reveal the collective and collaborative inner-workings of museums from a real-world perspective, as well as offering the occasional exposé of museum life. The book explains the component parts and disciplines found within these unique institutions.
