This book considers modern museum collection stewardship and argues that the museum field risks being constrained by rigid ways of thinking about objects. Exploring issues such as ‘quality over quantity’, emotional attachment, dispassionate cataloging, and cognitive biases in curatorship, the book aims to inform and innovate collection practices.
