MuseumArchitecture

A new book by Dr Suzanne MacLeod.

The book utilises a micro history, an in-depth case study of the ‘National Gallery of the North’, the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool, to expose the myriad ways in which museum architecture is made. 

Museums and Communities text book

This edited volume critically engages with contemporary scholarship on museums and their engagement with the communities they purport to serve and represent.
