本书认为，在急于现代化的过程中，一些博物馆已经用互动展品和电脑取代了几乎所有的收藏品，而另一些博物馆则尽可能地展示一切，把博物馆变成了好奇心的拼凑品。作家朱利安·斯波尔丁坚持认为，这两种方法都贬低了参观博物馆和画廊的价值。他认为，知识的前沿不再像启蒙运动时期那样可以收藏，当时博物馆成为理解自然和人类历史的中心途径。斯伯丁以巴黎的卢浮宫、华盛顿的大屠杀博物馆、圣彼得堡的国家政治历史博物馆和新加坡的亚洲文明博物馆等不同的例子，说明了如何利用物体和人工制品来创造对过去的深刻和诗意的见解。斯伯丁为游客和专业人士撰写文章，调查了博物馆工作的各个方面，从收藏到融资，从建筑到展示，揭示了必须改革的根深蒂固的习惯，以接触更广泛和日益复杂的公众。最重要的是，斯伯丁描述了他自己的理想，诗歌博物馆，将如何改变传统博物馆，并大大扩大他们的观众。乔纳森·斯伯丁曾担任英国众多博物馆的馆长，最近的一次是格拉斯哥博物馆和画廊。他是罗斯金画廊、圣芒戈宗教生活和艺术博物馆以及格拉斯哥现代艺术画廊等屡获殊荣的博物馆的创始人。
In the rush to modernize, this book argues, some museums have replaced almost all their collections with interactive exhibits and computers, while others have put everything they can on display, turning their museums into pastiche cabinets of curiosity. Author Julian Spalding maintains that both approaches devalue visiting museums and galleries. The frontiers of knowledge, he argues, are no longer collectible as they were during the Enlightenment, when museums became a central way of understanding natural and human history. Using examples as varied as the Louvre in Paris, the Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC, the State Museum of Political History in St Petersburg and the Asian Civilizations Museum in Singapore, Spalding illustrates how to use objects and artefacts to create profound and poetic insights into the past. Writing for the visitor as well as the professional, Spalding investigates every aspect of museum work from collecting to financing, buildings to displays, revealing entrenched habits which must be reformed to reach a wider and increasingly sophisticated public. Most importantly, Spalding describes how his own ideal, the Poetic Museum, would transform traditional museums and greatly extend their audiences. Jonathan Spalding has served as director of numerous museums in Great Britain, most recently Glasgow Museums and Galleries. He is the founder of such award-winning museums as the Ruskin Gallery, the St Mungo Museum of Religious Life and Art, and the Glasgow Gallery of Modern Art.
