Cabinet of Curiosities Inquiries into Museums and Their Prospects

Reflecting critically on the current condition of museums and their possible futures, Stephen E. Weil argues that cultural institutions need to free themselves from a fascination with technique and process to concentrate more intently on purpose. He contends that to succeed, or merely survive, a museum must be able to project clear goals that its supporting community finds of value and must demonstrate its competence to achieve those goals on a sustainable basis.Weil, Stephen E. is the author of 'Cabinet of Curiosities Inquiries into Museums and Their Prospects' with ISBN 9781560985112 and ISBN 1560985119.
