Resumen: Museums are public places where objects, images and memories are kept and shared. They exist in infinite variety and contradiction. They can be places of great excitement and great boredom, sharply insightful and hopelessly bland. Museums are anything that me political climate and the imagination allows them to be. No two museums are the same. This book begins with an introduction discussing the broad areas of museum provision and professionalism. It then provides a series of thought-provoking papers on museums. The editor has included material that has something original to say or that in some way influences museum development. The selection highlights aspects of current professional concern and includes articles and extracts on how the museum is defined, thoughts on the museum, the museums profession, professionalism, codes of ethical conduct and institutional standards. The papers which make up this volume give ample evidence of the variety of views that exist about museums. They also demonstrate that museums and museum professionals are moving forward with energy and conviction. This volume will be invaluable to students and museum professionals and will provoke them to consider museum provision and professionalism in all their forms. (Font: Editor)
