Good Museum Theory Book

Educational Role of the Museum, is a book filled with articles about museums theory. Each article is written by a different person and this variety of perspective is nice to have in one volume. Generally a good book, dry at times, but that is to be expected. I anticipate using this book for years to come, especially when I need to refresh myself on certain museum related topics.
