Science museums have paradoxes at their core. They must be
accessible and fun while representing increasingly complex science.
They must be both historic and contemporary. Their exhibits attract
millions, but most of their objects remain in deep storage, seldom
seen. This book delves into these conflicts, revealing the secret
lives of science curators; where science objects come from and who
uses them; and, ultimately, what science museums are for. With an
insider’s eye, Samuel J.M.M. Alberti exposes the idiosyncratic
past and intriguing current practice of these institutions, and
sets out a map for their future.
