Trade Review

"A collection of crucial essays documenting the wildly encompassing progressivism of this period. "—Russian Art and Culture

"An attempt to open up for the reader the field of museum studies alongside art history to an invaluable moment in our cultural, aesthetic, and historical heritage that has not been so readily available."—Leonardo Reviews

"Avant-Garde Museology...aims to question the existing art historical cannon by revisiting and complicating it. It is not difficult to find in the book the prototypes of some of the newest tendencies in recent museological and curatorial development."—Art Review Asia

"It is the broad range of primary documents selected by Arseny Zhilyaev that makes this collection such a valuable resource, presenting a more accurate picture of the debates on museology during the period."—The Burlington Magazine
