| Sumario: | Millions of items are held in museum collections around the world but many museums have very few visitors to their stored collections. These stored objects are loved with a great intensity by some curators and enthusiasts but for all but a tiny proportion of the population they have little or no personal meaning. This book goes beyond strategic discussions of access to stores, information enhancement, or collections rationalization and focuses on the emotional potential of these objects. It will be essential reading for scholars, students, and professionals in museums, especially those concerned with curation and collections. |
