Open Air Museums: The History and Future of a Visionary Idea
by Sten Rentzhog; translated by Skans Victoria Airey.
Sweden: Jamtli Förlag and Carlsson Bokförlag, 2007
ISBN 978-91-7948-208-4 (hardcover)
Distributed in the United States by the Association for Living History, Farm and Agricultural Museums
"Sten Rentzhog has done what no one else has done. He has written a comprehensive international history of open air museums. Full of detailed information about museums from Sweden to the Czech Republic to Canada and the United States, Open Air Museums can inform about the past. But it also tells much about the ways open air museums have appealed to visitors, and the ways that they can continue to be relevant in a changing world."
Debra Reid, PhD, Eastern Illinois University
