An authoritative reference work that lists more than 200 selected museums in countries from Afghanistan to Zaire. . . . This set responds to the need for a work that offers serious researchers scholarly articles on the history and collections of the world's major museums. Choice
This volume will be of great use to scholars for the valuable and frequently difficult to obtain information it provides, including facts about museum libraries and the availability of slides and photographs. Not only will it be a wonderful reference tool for researchers, but it also makes fascinating reading for the armchair traveler. Highly recommended. Library Journal
