The museum is a democratic institution and has as part of its mission the aim of educating the masses. However, its holdings are often perceived as precious, spiritual, and esoteric, requiring a certain level of knowledge for full appreciation. Born in the nineteenth century, the American art museum was conceived as the embodiment of an advancing, successful, and culturally democratic American nation -- rich in collected art and, at the same time, concerned with sharing its treasures with all the people. However, the democratic and capitalistic underpinnings of the museum created an institution sometimes at odds with itself. The contradictions and conflicts arising from this situation is the subject of this book.
