Book Synopsis

The Manual of Museum Management, Third Edition presents a comprehensive and detailed analysis of:
the principles of museum organization, the ways in which people work together to accomplish museum objectives, and the ways in which museums, large and small, can function most effectively. This new edition offers updated information on the key aspects of museum practice that dominate today - everything from "flatter" organizational models, shared leadership, the efflorescence of digital practice and complexity in the field, museums and social justice, the hard work and positive rewards of community engagement and partnership, platform "balance" to alternative revenue models.
All new contemporary "snapshots" provided by practitioners and drawn from museums and galleries around the world bring the principles to life and digitally-accessed links and resources (in the e-book) round out the relevance and usefulness of this third edition.
