Highly illustrated, exhaustively researched, and eminently readable, Riches, Rivals and Radicals describes the rise of museums in America from the early 20th century to the early 21st-a story that parallels the historic changes in the United States. Through the decades, museums transformed themselves from cabinets of curiosity to centers of civic pride and prestige, as well as stewards of our shared heritage, both good and bad.
