Recenzje

'This publication, while in many ways as critical of some museum developments as Hewison's book [Heritage Industry], is by far the more informed and better argued.' - Scottish Museum News

`A solid and challenging book which deserves a wide audience ... there is a need for more like it.' - Heritage Outlook
