The Art Institute of Chicago
Index of Museum Studies: A

This guide to the Art Institute's journal, Museum Studies, was created for quick access to the principle topics covered in every issue from vol. 1 (1966) to the present (vol. 35.1, 2009). In the case of essay-based issues, the index lists key terms derived directly from the articles' titles. In the case of entry-based issues, which explore a variety of works individually, the index lists works of art. The numbers following the subject terms identify relevant Museum Studies volumes and issues.
