Readers will come away with an understanding of:
1.the comprehensive history of museums from prehistoric collections to the present
2.the evolution of museums presented in the context of world history
3.the development of museums considered in diverse cultural contexts
4.global perspective on museums
5.the object-centered history of museums
6.museums as memory institutions
A constant theme throughout the book is that museums have evolved to become institutions in which objects and learning are associated to help human beings understand the world around them. Illustrations amplify the discussions.
