The Poetic Museum by Julian Spalding

Spalding, a director of numerous museums in Great Britain, shows here how museums could use objects and artefacts to create profound and poetic insights into the past. He describes how his own ideal, the Poetic Museum, would transform traditional museums and greatly extend their audiences.
JULIAN SPALDING'S books include The Poetic Museum, The Eclipse of Art, The Art of Wonder (winner of the Sir Banister Fletcher Prize) and The Best Art You've Never Seen. He was formerly Director of Art Galleries in Sheffield, Manchester and Glasgow (including the Burrell Collection and Kelvingrove) and established The Ruskin Gallery, The St Mungo Museum of Religious Life and Art, Glasgow's Gallery of Modern Art, the Open Museum and, as Master of Ruskin's Guild of St George, the Campaign for Drawing.
