Description
The Curator's Egg: A History of the Museum Concept from Revolution to Present Day This accessible and concise publication explores the development of the museum concept over time, tracing its evolution from the opening of The Louvre to the launch of Tate Modern. Karsten Schubert examines the complex history of museums in various cities, including New York during a period of significant expansion and change. The book also delves into the success and unprecedented growth of museums in Europe and the United States during the 1980s and 1990s, highlighting the need for institutions to adapt to changing interests. The author's latest section considers the museum's current state ten years after its initial publication, set against the backdrop of a post-9/11 environment. Through this comprehensive study, Schubert sheds light on the multifaceted role of museums within society, encompassing curatorial, scholarly, political, and cultural spheres.
