First Modern Museums of Art
It is a comelling account of the origins of the world's most important museums. Although the emergence of these museums was an international development, their shared history has not been systematically explored until now. In the 18th and early 19th centuries the first modern, public museums of art appeared throughout Europe, setting a standard for the nature of such institutions that has made its influence felt to the present day.
These essays consider a number of issues, such as the nature, display, and growth of the museums' collections and the role of the institutions in educating the public. Taking up that project, this volume includes chapters on fifteen of the earliest major examples, from the Capitoline Museum in Rome, opened in 1734, to the Alte Pinakothek in Munich, opened in 1836.
