By concentrating on the ways in which power, ideology and legitimacy work at the international, national and local levels of the museum experience, Clive Gray provides an original analysis of who exercises power and how power is used in museums.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"A rich bibliography that includes few museum studies resources in favor of scholarly material from the fields of political science, public administration, and public policy supplements a brief, adequate index.
