The book Museums in Motion provides a broad picture of the history and functions of museums. The author Edward P. Alexander examined the dynamic history of museums by dividing them into"six types"and discussed museum practices in their"five functions". Following this narrative structure, his daughter Mary Alexander addresses the new issues that museums are facing in the modern world by adding the section "Opportunities and Challenges". While the museum as a social institution is always in motion with the changing society concerning its definition, type, boundary, and functions, it is essential to acknowledge the basic features and core roles that museums share and the principles that the field follows.
《动态博物馆》一书对博物馆的历史和功能作了全面的介绍。作者爱德华·亚历山大(Edward P. Alexander)将博物馆划分为“六种类型”来考察博物馆的动态历史，并从博物馆的“五种功能”来探讨博物馆的实践。在这种叙事结构下，他的女儿Mary Alexander通过增加“机遇与挑战”部分来解决博物馆在现代世界面临的新问题。博物馆作为一种社会机构，其定义、类型、边界和功能总是随着社会的变化而变化，但有必要认识到博物馆共有的基本特征和核心角色，以及该领域遵循的原则。
