CHOOSE YOUR EDITION:
“Filled with intelligence and stark precision.” The words used in a review of one of our titles. We know what that reviewer meant. There are some essays that stand out from their context, beyond the theme of the book they're in. And by their originality, clarity - even bravery - they demand to be reread. Restudied. The chapters brought together in this special volume are those essays. 


Scattered through our books on diverse topics over the past ten years, they're collected together in this new book for the first time. We hope their influence and – yes – intelligence will help guide and inspire you as you fight to help museums contribute to the change which our society needs.
