  • Description

    Museums, Society, Inequality explores the wide-ranging social roles and responsibilities of the museum. This unusual collection gives valuable insight on the museum’s relationship to the outside community, and its essential role as a social institution that influences, and must respond to, the changing characteristics and concerns of society.
