Synopsis

In the changing landscape natural history museums find themselves The Future of Natural History Museums develops a cohesive discourse that balances the disparate issues that these institutions will face over the next twenty to fifty years. Thinkers from around the world, in a range of museums from the largest and most famous institutions to smaller and more nimble ones, focus on their specialisms, providing their unique perspectives on a comprehensive range of issues. Disassembling the topic into various key elements and, though commentary and synthesis, the book charts a cohesive prediction for the direction of the natural history museum sector.
