About the Book

Anybody wanting to know if there are any museums in Lapland will strike it lucky with this work! They will be told that the Sa mi Museum and Northern Lapland Nature Centre was founded in Inari in 1961, which departments it houses as well as the name of its director - simply ask him or her any further questions directly, either by post, phone, fax or e-mail. The museums are coded by 22 categories identifying focus and type of each institution. The thematic scope ranges from 'Agricultural Museum' to 'Science and Tech Museum'. In addition, venues such as 'Historical Site', 'Open Air Museum' and 'University Museum' are differentiated from each other. "Museums of the World" has been completely revised and updated. With some 1,300 museums entered for the first time, the current edition of the handbook lists over 41,600 museums in 199 countries. Museums are listed hierarchically by country and place, and within places, alphabetically by name. Should a museum have recently changed its name, the previous name will still be given, along with a reference to the current one. Owing to the ever increasing number of entries, "Museums of the World" is now published in two volumes. An chapter provides 474 museum associations in 118 countries. Searches are greatly facilitated by three indexes: the alphabetical index lists the names of all museums in the original language - and in English, too, if a translation is available. The index of names records artists whose works are shown predominantly in a specific museum and/or refers to memorabilia of famous individuals from all walks of public life. Looking for 'Laurel, Stan', the user is given one entry (Laurel and Hardy Museum in Ulverston, UK), while 'Johann Wolfgang von Goethe' is not restricted to Frankfurt and Weimar but may be found in no fewer than 18 museums in Germany, France and Italy. Last but not least, the subject index classifies museums according to 214 subject groups (containing numerous further cross references), structured alphabetically by country and museum name. A standard work for museums, the art trade, centres of cultural studies, libraries and anybody searching for a specific museum for private, academic or business reasons.

Review :
