Museums in Motion is a core text for museum and curatorial studies courses and a valuable resource for anyone in the museum profession. The inclusion of provocative and inspiring reports on contemporary practice provides special value. --Peter Morrin, director emeritus, Speed Art Museum, Louisville, Kentucky and former director, University of Louisville Center for Arts and Culture Partnerships I am thrilled to see a thorough update of this classic book on museums and museum functions. Museums in Motion can once again serve as the essential introductory text for any museum studies course. --Laura B. Roberts, principal, Roberts Consulting and faculty, Harvard University Program in Museum Studies The new updates and inclusions by Juilee Decker make this version very relevant for today's students and will give them an important framework as all of us in the museum field face a challenging future. It is most accessible to both the undergraduate and graduate student as well as being informative for the working museum professional. I give this book my highest praise--it combines the history and function of museums elegantly and the special highlights from the museum professionals give it an additional connection to the real world. --Pamela J. White, former director, Museum Studies Graduate Program, Western Illinois University
