An exhaustive course to understand how a museum is worked and managed.
Around the world, museums have common needs and face the same challenges. Being up to date with new ideas and practices is critical for small and medium-sized museums, where the time to read and form is often quite restricted. Such is the objective of this book, made especially for the many museums operating in the world with limited and unsused resources. The comprehensive training course that makes up its various chapters is also affordable for museum students who want to understand how to work in a museum.

Based on a wide spectrum of practical experiences, the authors provide a basic guide to all aspects of museum work, education and public training to the organization and planning of the museum, through the management and conservation of funds and collections. Organized with a modular concept with more than 100 units, The Museum: Basics can be used as a reference work to address daily management, and also as a key textbook in training programs.

The content is up to date and takes into account the many changes that have taken place in the world of museums in recent years. It includes numerous diagrams, a glossary, bibliography and a complete cross-reference system, which facilitate its use to the reader.
