Definitely a textbook, dry and hard to get through

Browsed, but will be referencing in the future

Hard copy.
I read this as part of my Masters Program for Museum Studies.
A great reference manual for all management functions of running a museum.

If you’re newly in a museum admin role and have zero knowledge of how it works, this could be a good book to begin a foundation. Otherwise, if you’ve worked at a museum then this is just redundant.
