• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

What goes on behind closed doors at museums? How are decisions about exhibitions made and who, or what, really makes them? Why are certain objects and styles of display chosen whilst others are rejected? This book answers these searching questions by giving a privileged look behind the scenes at the Science Museum in London.
