520    "Packed with stunning imagery and featuring the world's 
       most celebrated cultural institutions, architectural 
       historian and museum curator Owen Hopkins looks at the 
       fascinating history of the museum. Visited by millions 
       around the world every year, discover the untold story of 
       the museum, one of mankind's most essential creations. 
       Using examples of the greatest cultural institutions to 
       shape the narrative, this book outlines the history of the
       museum movement, tracking the evolution from princely 
       collections in Europe and the Enlightenment's classically 
       inspired temples of curiosities, via the public museums of
       the late nineteenth century, on to today's global era of 
       iconic buildings designed by the world's leading 
       architects. Over the course of five chapters filled with 
       stunning imagery that highlights the beauty of these 
       venerated buildings, the origins of key institutions are 
       revealed, including: Louvre; Metropolitan Museum of Art; 
       British Museum; Tate Modern; Hermitage; Guggenheim; 
       Smithsonian Institute; Acropolis Museum. Also outlined are
       the motivations of the architects, curators and patrons 
       who have shaped how we experience the modern museum, a 
       cast that includes names such as King George II, Napoleon,
       Henry Clay Frick, Peggy Guggenheim, Andrew Carnegie, 
       Alfred Barr, Frank Lloyd Wright, Le Courbusier, Frank 
       Gehry, Richard Rogers, Nicholas Serota and Zaha Hadid. By 
       examining how these venues became intrinsic to our shared 
       cultural experience, analysing the changing roles they 
       play in society and questioning what the future holds in a
       digital age, this book is for anyone who has stood in awe 
       at the spectacle of a museum"--Publisher's description
