Book: Museums Objects Colln This book examines the historical context of museums, their collections, the objects that form them, and the meaning interpreted from them. Pearce probes the reasons people collect and identifies three methods of collecting. The author considers how museum professionals set policies of collection management; acquire, study, and exhibit objects; and make meaning of the objects in their care.
