Dear all
Following on from Richard and Susan. As far as I am aware, the Museums
Journal is the glossy and slightly gossipy magazine, although with some
interesting and serious items, that Richard decribes. It is free to all
members of the Museum Association (current corporate subscription about
£250pa). There is a professional journal as well which carries the more
academic articles called "Museum Practice" and which also has colour covers
and nice black and white photos inside. I imagine the distribution on both
these peridicals is far greater than the SoA Newsletter or the JSA.
Just my twopennyworth.
