Figures accompanying this text are reproduced from that study. 25 As you c...

Perhaps you think of a specific institution, such as the nearby art museum, historic house, or zoo, with whom you connect onsite or online. Or, perhaps you substitute a metaphora tomb (Adorno 1967), a laboratory (Barr 1939), supermarket, as captured by Andy Warhol, a temple and a forum (Cameron 1971), or a veiled vault (Heyler, Schad, and Beck 2015)in place of a specific entity? How do these references impact our understanding of the function of museums and their histories as well as their futures? Museums began as treasure houses as evidenced by classical Greek examples (the Propylaia included a pinakotheke for the display of paintings), an open-air museum with reconstructed landmarks for the Roman emperor Hadrian, and later displays of Renaissance humanism, eighteenthcentury enlightenment and nineteenth-century nationalism, imperialism, and, on occasion, democracy. While the object was at the forefront of museums, the notions of agency, site, and space have de-centered focus on the object and have brought greater attention to the audience. Specifically, museums have elevated their public service functions, an act that museum theorist Elaine Heumann Gurian suggests "blurs" the boundaries between museums and other public service agencies (2006). Former museum director and audience researcher Bonnie Pitman has further qualified museums by stating: Museums are more than the repositories of the past, with memories and objects both rare and beautiful. Museums are cultural, educational, and civic centers in our communitiescenters for exhibitions, conservation, research, and interpretation; they are theaters and movie houses, job-training programs, schools and day-care centers, libraries and concert halls … forums for their communities. (1999, 1)

Beginning with an introduction to the discipline of museum planning, the book covers such questions as the diversity of communities, the importance of knowing the market, understanding the needs of the museum visitor, fund raising, site selection methods, and the role of director, staff, trustees and local authority. Barry and Gail Dexter Lord also wrote "Cost of Collecting" with John Nicks.
