Tá músaem an bhailitheora phríobháideach ina feiniméan den 21ú haois. Tá thart ar 400 acu ar fud an domhain, agus bunaíodh 70% iontach díobh siúd atá dírithe ar ealaín chomhaimseartha le 20 bliain anuas. Cé gur cúisíodh do mhúsaeim phríobháideacha as a bheith ina dtionscadail fholaíochta imghabhála cánach nó ina ‘tuamaí le haghaidh trófaithe’, tá an pictiúr i bhfad níos casta agus níos nua-aimseartha, dar le hiriseoir margaidh ealaíne Georgina Adam (údar Big Bucks agus Dark Side of the Boom is mó díol. ) léirithe ina leabhar láidir nua.
Déanann imscrúdú Georgina Adam ar an iomadú urghnách seo, bunaithe ar na cuairteanna a thug sí le déanaí ar níos mó ná 50 spás príobháideach ar fud na SA, san Eoraip, sa tSín agus in áiteanna eile, na cúiseanna atá taobh thiar den bhorradh seo, na spreagthaí éagsúla atá ag bailitheoirí a gcuid ealaíne a chur ar taispeáint go poiblí a scrúdú, agus an bealaí éagsúla ina maoinítear na hinstitiúidí. Is féidir le músaeim phríobháideacha cur go mór le saol cultúrtha pobail, ardán a thabhairt d’ealaíontóirí atá ag teacht chun cinn, cláir oideachais a sholáthar agus réigiúin atá ag meath nó a ndearnadh faillí orthu a athbheochan. Ach féadann a gcaidreamh le hinstitiúidí poiblí a bheith ina fhadhb freisin. Ar cheart d’iarsmalanna príobháideacha céim a dhéanamh le bearna atá fágtha de bharr laghdú ar infheistíocht phoiblí sa chultúr a líonadh, agus cad iad na himpleachtaí don tsochaí agus do na healaíona? In aimsir ghéarchéime in earnáil na músaem, is léamh riachtanach é an leabhar seo a spreagann smaointe.
