A Legal Primer On Managing Museum Collections

Hailed when it was first published in 1985 as the bible of U.S. collections management, this book offers the only comprehensive discussion of the legal questions faced by museums. This revised and expanded second edition addresses the many legal developments -- including a comprehensive discussion of stolen art and the international movement of cultural property, recent developments in copyright, and the effects of burgeoning electronic uses -- that have occurred during the past thirteen years.
