Description:
"This fascinating book offers a history of museum collecting in western Europe over the course of its formative centuries, tracing its origins from the culture of collecting that emerged during the Renaissance and concluding with the great changes of the nineteenth century which would prove so influential to the museum movement of later years." http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0833/2007037995-d.html.
