Description

Explore the origins of modern museum practices with Giorgio Vasari and the Birth of the Museum, published by Routledge. This work provides the first dedicated and comprehensive study of Vasari's original contributions to how museums are formed and managed. By examining the full range of collecting, installation, and conceptual-historical aspects, this book reveals how his influence shaped the way we view art today. This collection of essays brings together specialists in Giorgio Vasari and scholars of historical museology to provide a cross-disciplinary look at his methods. Readers can learn about his specific approaches to the collecting and display of art, artifacts, and memorabilia. While the text focuses primarily on the mid-to-late 16th century, it offers essential context for anyone interested in the history of art curation and the development of museum collections.
