This book, written by Josep Maria Montaner, offers a summarized view of the panorama and contemporary condition of museum architecture. It focuses on prototypes and realizations of the 20th century that remain relevant in the 21st century. The text analyzes the rise in the creation, expansion, and transformation of museums from the 1980s, driven by the postmodern culture of leisure and the cultural industry. It also examines how the massive influx of visitors has led to the multiplication of services and the growth of areas dedicated to management, education, and conservation. Contemporary museums have followed the path of prototypes of the modern movement and have transformed their conventional conception, reaffirming their crucial role in contemporary societies.
