In this book, all the major public institutions, be they art galleries or museums - either of technology, natural history, or items related only to specific themes or location - are brought together and described in detail for the first time. Many are unique in character, their size and emphasis reflecting the needs of the communities they serve, the energy and resources of their supporters, the particular character of the region in which they are sited.
Illustrated with more than 160 photographs, many of them in full colour, the coverage is as fascinating as it is wide-ranging.
This book also includes accounts of the principal properties administered by the Historic Places Trust: an all inclusive directory of private and public museums and galleries with details of their location and collections.
