Curators Grande Lance
Over the centuries, natural history museums have evolved from being little more than musty repositories of stuffed animals and pinned bugs, to being crucial generators of new scientific knowledge. Yet after three decades as a natural history curator, Lance Grande found that he still had to explain to people what he does. They have also become vibrant educational centers, full of engaging exhibits that share those discoveries with students and an enthusiastic general public.At the heart of it all from the very start have been curators.
Grande uses the personal story of his own career--most of it spent at Chicago's storied Field This book is the answer--and, oh, what an answer it is: lively, exciting, up-to-date, it offers a portrait of curators and their research like none we've seen, one that conveys the intellectual excitement and the educational and social value of curation.
