To Have and To Hold: Art Museum Departments
Feature
Alison Carroll

One of the things which continues to fascinate me about museums is how, despite the vast amount of talk about displaying material culture, the often personal, often idiosyncratic, often haphazard decisions about departments are very rarely mentioned.
