More about the book

Critiquing the 1836 Minutes of Evidence from the Select Committee on the British Museum, Edward Edwards argues that the presented evidence was misleading and detrimental to the museum's mission. He provides a thorough analysis of the museum's history, governance, and collections, emphasizing its significance to national cultural heritage. This historical document is essential for understanding early 19th-century debates on museum management and government support for the arts and humanities. An appendix offers additional insights into potential improvements for the museum.
