French historian and cultural scholar Krzysztof Pomian has created a monumental work dedicated to the history of the origins and development of the museum as an institution. First published in French by the legendary Gallimard publishing house and immediately becoming a landmark in European cultural life, this work is now being published in Russian by SLOVO.
The author chronologically examines the development of museums from private collections to modern institutions. This is a history of donations and trade, fraud and robberies, wars and diplomacy. But it is also a history of museum architecture, the methods and specifics of interaction with objects, and legal and organizational issues. It is a history not only of art, but also of entrepreneurship, the development of ways of understanding the world and technologies from antiquity to the present day.
Contents of the volumes:
Volume 1. From a Treasury to a Private Collection. Antiquity and the Early Renaissance (Europe).
Volume 2. From a Cabinet of Curiosities to a Museum. Renaissance - 17th Century (Europe)
Volume 3. From the Revolutionary Museum to New Museum Forms. 18th - Early 19th Century (Europe)
Volume 4. From Private Museums to Public Museums. 19th - Early 20th Century (Europe), 18th - Early 20th Century (Russia and Asia)
Volume 5. From Museums of the Past to the Museum of the Future. 18th - Early 21st Century (USA), 20th - Early 21st Century (Worldwide)
