Sommario/riassunto |
|
"This book addresses the phenomenon of historic houses as a distinct species of museum. By analyzing the motivation of the founders, and subsequent keepers, of house museums, the author identifies a typology that casts light on what they were intended to represent and their significance (or lack thereof) today."--Provided by publisher. |
