Museums for the 21st Century
註釋If since the end of the 18th century and throughout the 19th century the museum was consolidated as a new public institution, at the beginning of the 21st century it has become a place for the massive influx of an active public and has become integrated into consumer culture in its broadest sense. As a generator of large urban spaces and a magnet for tourists the museum has also contributed to a total mutation of the building type traditional to it. Profusely illustrated with examples of recent museums, this book is organised into eight chapters, each describing one of the eight trends that can be considered the predominant forms of contemporary museums.
