THE MUSEUM: BEHIND THE SCENES AT THE BRITISH MUSEUM

Book ID/图书代码： 11340015B85710

English Summary/英文概要： Egyptian mummies, Michaelangelo’s drawings, sculptures from Greece and Rome, exquisite porcelain from China, bronze masterpieces from Africa, the remarkable finds from Sutton Hoo - these are just some of the awe-inspiring objects in the British Museum’s famous collections. But the Museum is more than just a treasure house: it is a London landmark, a tourist magnet, a national and international resource- a museum of the world for the world.

Keeping this remarkable institution running is a team of 1000 staff who supervise the galleries, plan major exhibitions and manage a flow of nearly 5 million visitors a year. Rupert Smith has been granted special access to the huge variety of people who work in the Museum, including expert curators, conservators, heavy-object handlers and the people who clean the fabulous new glass roof of the Great Court.

Accompanying a major ten-part BBC television series, The Museum takes us behind the scenes for the first time to see how this amazing place works. Illustrated with over 120 colour photographs, and with a foreword by the Museum’s director, Neil MacGregor, this fascinating book is a celebration of the British Museum and the many dedicated people who work there.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 埃及木乃伊、米开朗基罗的作品、希腊和罗马雕塑、中国的精美陶瓷、非洲的青铜器——这些仅仅是大英博物馆著名藏品中的一部分。大英博物馆不仅仅是一座收藏珍品的场馆，更重要的是，它是伦敦的地标，是旅游目的地，也是国内和国际资源宝库。

为了维持博物馆的正常运作，一个由1000多名员工组成的团队监管着各个展厅、规划重大展出、管理每年将近5百万的参观客流量。作者 Rupert Smith被授予特殊权利，接近博物馆内工作的各色人群，包括博物馆馆长、专家、管理员、搬运工、清洁工等。

随着BBC电视系列片的播出，大英博物馆首次揭开了其运作面纱，让我们了解到其背后的运作方式。本书包含120多张彩照，并由博物馆总监Neil MacGregor作序，可谓对大英博物馆及许多在此工作的人员的致敬。(LYR)
