Summary: With contributions by thirteen experts from ten countries, Cities, Museums and Soft Power is a fascinating and important book that demonstrates what "sleeping giants" the world's 80.000 museums are -as education centers, employers and, last but not least, magnets for creative industries and engines of economic development. Here's hoping that this book helps awaken them. (Font: Prefaci)
