Dinah Casson’s is one such and the happy conjunction of great experience and an acute power of observation… The book is a fascinating exercise in looking below the surface, and ‘behind the scenes’ in museums and art galleries. She leaves no stone unturned, examining the overlooked and underestimated aspects within exhibition spaces to challenge many of the shibboleths of the business.’ – SPAB magazine
