The Museum Book
Reflects on the Muses and the word museum, on why and how people collect things, on different kinds of museums (cabinets, buildings, villages, towns), on their contribution to science and on the notion of classification. This book examines the Elgin Marbles (saved or stolen?), famous fakes, the dodo, and some great collectors.
