American Museums: Innovators and Pioneers
About This Novel
Another classic work by Edward P. Alexander, the author of "Museum Change: A Reader on Museum History and Function" (one of the top ten national cultural heritage books in 2014 and the first national outstanding academic achievement in museology). "American Museums: Innovators and Pioneers" introduces the history of how 13 leading museum figures built private collections into various public museums during the formative years of American museums (at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries). These first institutions include today's world-renowned American Museum of Natural History, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and the Brooklyn Children's Museum. It is precisely because of the vision and leadership of these museum innovators and pioneers that the vigorous development and international influence of American museums today are possible.
