Curious Devices and Mighty Machines Exploring Science Museums.

Their exhibits attract millions, but most of their objects remain in deep storage, seldom seen.

With an insider's eye, the author exposes the idiosyncratic past and intriguing current practice of these institutions, and sets out a map for their future. --  |c Provided by publisher.
