I am very much interested in the history of museums. In particular I like thinking about the roles that museum have played throughout history. From the cabinet of curios to the austere buildings full of nationalistic treasures to makeshift hospitals museums have changed a lot in the past several hundred years. I am interested to read about museums through the lens of a professional working in the early 20th century and to think about how the field has changed (or not) since Dana was writing.
I also feel compelled to confess (in hope that some of you might relate) that I am already behind on the reading schedule. How did that happen so quickly? Rest assured that I will be playing catch-up in the coming days. So look for an insightful post, coming soon!
