Re: MUSEUM CULTURE by Sherman and Rogoff:
      The book grew out of a conference titled "The Institutions of Culture:
The Museum," held in March of 1988. It appears to be mostly about art museums.
>From the Introduction (pg xi):
   This collection of essays focuses..."on museums as the intricate amalgam of
historical structures and narratives, practices and strategies of display, and
the concerns and imperatives of various governing ideologies."
