Note:"Many of the ideas in this book go against the standard rules of museum practice. But this is, for many historic house museums, a time of crisis, and crises require bold action and creative thinking. The Anarchist's Guide encourages us to think differently, to challenge conventional procedures, to put visitors first, to take risks. The authors approach the problem from many different directions. You may not agree with all of their conclusions ... But the creativity in this volume is refreshing, bringing to the conversation some of the only new ideas that have surfaced in some time. Vagnone and Ryan have jump started the conversation. If historic house museums are to thrive and become more meaningful to modern visitors, it is now up to all of us to continue the discussion."--Foreward.
