An eminent historian assembles a career-long group of essays about art collecting and the leadership, strategies, and shifting cultural power of American art museums as they have emerged over the past 150 years.

Museums and their cultural power, and the vagaries of collecting in the United States have fascinated University of Chicago historian Neil Harris for more than sixty years. In this collection of eighteen lively essays from across his distinguished career, Harris addresses period rooms, visitor research, museum education, museum branding and merchandising, and the persistent influence of individual collectors and patrons such as J. Pierpont Morgan, among other important topics. Harris's geographical range is broad, too, with considerations of museums in Boston, New York, Washington, D.C., Toledo, Chicago, Denver, and elsewhere.
