Synopsis
Jan Mark takes readers through museums' multifaceted history. Numerous questions answer in the books are: What is a museum? Why would anyone amass shells, words, clocks, teeth, trains, dinosaurs, mummies...or two-headed sheep? Find out where the word "museum" comes from and what unusual items (unicorn horns? mermaids?) some early museums placed on view.
