Book Description

Excerpt from Transactions of the Free Museum of Science and Art (University Museum), Vol. 2 The English excavators in Crete have divided Cretan pottery of the bronze age into three periods, to which they give the names: 'early Minoan, ' 'middle Minoan, ' and Late Minoan.' 3 Each of these three periods is again divided into three subdivisions. The Cretan bronze-age pottery which has been published is arranged according to these nine divisions in the table opposite page 50. In parallel columns are arranged according to the same classification the most important decorated objects of early Cretan civilization other than pottery and also the bronze-age pottery from other sites in the Aegean basin.

Museums in Motion


Book Description

In 1979, Edward P. Alexander's Museums in Motion was hailed as a much-needed addition to the museum literature. In combining the history of museums since the eighteenth century with a detailed examination of the function of museums and museum workers in modern society, it served as an essential resource for those seeking to enter to the museum profession and for established professionals looking for an expanded understanding of their own discipline. Now, Mary Alexander has produced a newly revised edition of the classic text, bringing it the twenty-first century with coverage of emerging trends, resources, and challenges. New material also includes a discussion of the children's museum as a distinct type of institution and an exploration of the role computers play in both outreach and traditional in-person visits.
