TY - BOOK AU - WELSH, Peter H. TI - Preparing a new generation: thoughts on contemporary museum studies training PY - 2013/// CY - Philadelphia PB - Routledge KW - museology KW - museum studies KW - training N2 - In this paper, I examine the development of museum studies training in the USA; offer an updated definition of what constitutes ‘a museum’; describe and discuss three conceptual domains that underlie and penetrate all museum work; and review the professional areas of museum work. I then propose a multi-tiered approach to museum studies training that, I argue, would effectively prepare the next generation of museum workers for leadership that will keep museums relevant to society UR - https://doi.org/10.1080/09647775.2013.850830 ER -
