Book Description
Museums and collecting is now a major area of cultural studies. This selected group of key texts opens the investigation and appreciation of museum history. Edward Edwards, chief pioneer of municipal public libraries, chronicles the founders and early donors to the British Museum. Greenwood and Murray provide informative pictures of the early history of the museum movement. Sir William Flower, Director of the British Museum (Natural History), takes a pioneering philosophical approach to the sphere of natural history in relation to museums. Similarly, Acland and Ruskin discuss and explore the relationships of art and architecture to museums.

Book Description
This reprint of the 1904 three-volume work (two volumes in this iteration) includes a new introduction by Paula Findlen (Stanford U.) in which she asserts that Murray's Museum "stands as a reminder that the computerized tools of twentieth-century scholarship seem barely adequate to allow an entire community of scholars to achieve what a single researcher managed to do with paper and pen at the beginning of the century" and "continues to be the most important work of reference for the early history of the museum." Findlen's introduction includes a bibliography of recent work on the history of museums. In the bibliography (volumes two and three in the original, now one volume), the museums are arranged under the towns or places where they are situated, private collections are listed under the name of the collector, and authors are given separately as cross- references.
