For Love or Money

Low and unequal rates of pay have been endemic in the world's museums and galleries for decades. 

For Love or Money dissects the cold, startling statistics about the shocking worldwide inequality of pay in the profession - and details the inspiring initiatives now being taken to resolve the problem once and for all.

With a Foreword by the Executive Director of the Getty Leadership Institute, this authoritative book brings a highly critical focus to bear on both the causes and the resulting effects of pay inequality on both staff and institutions. But it also proposes effective strategies to remedy the problem and defines the benefits which fair and equitable pay will achieve.



In 528 evidence-based pages, 30 experienced international authors set out the practical actions that staff and organizations can take to help end wage inequality and strengthen our institutions, so allowing committed museum staff to advance in careers that are both financially fair and personally rewarding.
