Museums in Motion: An Introduction to the History and Functions of Museums (American Association for State and Local History) by Edward P. Alexander
I liked how the Alexanders write about what museums do and the problems they face in the future. The first part of the book was all right as an introduction to the beginnings and how the museums began to evolve but I did not find the connection between the first and second part of the book smooth. Actually they felt like two totally different books.
