Riches, Rivals & Radicals: 100 Years of Museums in America by Marjorie Schwarzer
Description:
Highly illustrated, exhaustively researched, and eminently readable, Riches, Rivals and Radicals describes the rise of the museums in America from the early 20th century to the early 21st - a story that parallels the historic changes in the United States. Companion text to the PBS mini-series of the same name, this American Association of Museums publication is so comprehensive it has been used as an undergraduate text for Museum Studies. Published in celebration of AAM's centennial and The Year of the Museum.
