What makes this volume truly outstanding is its presentation: entries are grouped thematically, which provides a cultural context for each institution's role. Additionally, indexes offer alternative methods of use, listing entries by both institutional name and individual involved, thus presenting a more ready-reference type of organization. Combined, these diverse points of access create a multifunctional volume. . . . Danilov's unique compilation will, it is hoped, encourage further study of this fascinating aspect of museum history and development. . . Recommended.
