N2  - A paperback edition of this unique and fascinating guide exploring everything from the history of museums, to the very meaning of the word "museum", illustrated with incredible collage-style art. From the first sentence of this brilliant book, Jan Mark inspires us to think. She muses on the Muses and the word museum, on why and how people collect things, on different kinds of museums (cabinets, buildings, villages, towns), on their contribution to science and on the notion of classification
