Contains 35 seminal articles reflecting over 100 years of dialogue within the museum community about what it means to be a relevant institution. This book is suitable for museum professionals, students, and those interested in museums and their development.

This reader brings together for the first time 35 seminal articles that reflect the museum world's ongoing conversation with itself and the public about what it means to be a museum. Not just any museum, but one that is relevant and responsive to its constituents and always examining and reexamining its operations, policies, collections, and programs to retain what is good and revise what is no longer working. In conjunction with the editor's introductory material and recommended additional readings these articles will help readers grasp the essentials of the dialogue and to know where to turn for the details and further developments.
