Closely focused around conflicts which had the most wide-ranging impact on museums, this collection includes reflections on museums such as the Louvre, the Stedelijk in the Netherlands, the Canadian War Museum and the State Art Collections Dresden.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003eMuseums, Modernity an\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction: Museums and War \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKate Hill\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart I: Collecting and Conflict\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1.Salvage and Speculation: The London Art Market After the Franco-Prussian War (1870-71)’\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThomas Stammers\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2.
