Museum reviews, regularly published both in print and online, are freely available below. Museum reviews are published in tandem with the concurrent printed issue and are listed in that issue’s table of contents. See AJA Open Access for the distribution policy and for additional free print-published and online-only content.

Before 2012, some museum reviews were published only in print; these are available for purchase via the AJA Archive.
