Museum Studies- “The Unforeseen Costs of Museums Acquiring Antiquities Without Provenance” Bibliography

This is not only a bibliography for the above essay. It’s also a good place to start if you’re interested in museums. I also recommend the Rape of Europa, a documentary available on Netflix and the work of John Cotton Dana.
