We’re really pleased to tell you that the long awaited re-printed edition of The Curator’s Egg is now available to purchase. This seminal title, written by Karsten Schubert, has always been in high demand.

On many a scholarly reading list, and considered a very interesting read, the book traces the growth of the museum concept – from the opening of the Louvre in Paris to the contemporary popularity of the current trend of ‘starchitect’ designed spaces.

This re-printed edition includes the newly added chapter, Democracy of Spectacle: The Museum Revisited, looking at how the concept of the museum has developed over the last 10 years.

If you’re interested in the history of museums/galleries, exhibition-making, curatorial practice and museology, then this is definitely one of the first books you should read. It’s a classic!
