 | | The Contemporary Museum(1st Edition) Shaping Museums for the Global Now by Simon J. Knell Paperback, 250 Pages, Published 2018 by Routledge ISBN-13: 978-0-8153-6493-1, ISBN: 0-8153-6493-8 "The Contemporary Museum issues a challenge to those who view the museum as an artefact of history, constrained in its outlook as much by professional, institutional and disciplinary creed, as by the collections it accumulated in the distant past. Denying that the museum can locate its purpose in the pursuit of tradition or in idealistic speculation about the future, the book asserts that this can only be found through an ongoing and pro ..." |
 | | The Great Fossil Enigma The Search for the Conodont Animal (Life of the Past) by Professor Simon J. Knell, Simon J. Lknell Hardcover, 440 Pages, Published 2012 by Indiana University Press ISBN-13: 978-0-253-00604-2, ISBN: 0-253-00604-X "Stephen Jay Gould borrowed from Winston Churchill when he described the conodont animal as a "riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma." This animal confounded science for more than a century. Some thought it a slug, others a fish, a worm, a plant, even a primitive ancestor of ourselves. The list of possibilities grew and yet an answer to the riddle never seemed any nearer. Would the animal that left behind these miniscule fossils k ..." |

These different arrangements reflect the differing conceptualisations and purposes of international and national art. The National Gallery in London is not alone in fearing that the sheer quantity of national art might swamp and weaken the international survey. International art, more so ..." |

The Louvre's Germain Bazin, in his classic The Museum Age (1967) a decade later, applied such an excess of generalisation and misinformation that the myth now takes firm hold in the modern imagination: 'It is true that all the capitals and great cities of Europe had th ..." |

Museums have subsequently been and continue to be founded along these wellunderstood lines. But the end of the second millennium AD and the advent of the third point up the new needs and preoccupations of contemporary society. These are many, b ..." |

Knell Paperback, 280 Pages, Published 2016 by Routledge ISBN-13: 978-0-7546-3005-0, ISBN: 0-7546-3005-6 "Collecting is a key function of museums.
