From 1921 until 1948, Paul J. Sachs (1878-1965) offered a yearlong
program in art museum training, "Museum Work and Museum Problems,"
through Harvard University's Fine Arts Department. Known simply as
the Museum Course, the program was responsible for shaping a
professional field-museum curatorship and management-that, in turn,
defined the organisational structure and values of an institution
through which the American public came to know art. Conceived at a
time of great museum expansion and public interest in the United
States, the Museum Course debated curatorial priorities and put
theory into practice through the placement of graduates in museums
big and small across the land. In this book, authors Sally Anne
Duncan and Andrew McClellan examine the role that Sachs and his
program played in shaping the character of art museums in the
United States in the formative decades of the twentieth century.
"The Art of Curating" is essential reading for museum studies
scholars, curators, and historians.
