Description
All museum activities converge in the very public forum of the exhibition. Whether large or small, exhibitions are responsible for driving museum attendance and revenue, as well as showcasing new research and engaging audiences in new ideas. As museums move from a transmission to a visitor-centred model, exhibitions are more experience-driven, participatory, and interactive, built around multiple perspectives and powerful storytelling.
The exhibition development process is more complex than ever as audiences demand more dynamic, diverse, and inclusive experiences. Museum leaders, interpretive planners, designers, and curators are rising to the challenges in innovative ways.
Manual of Museum Exhibitions details the exhibition process in a straightforward way that can be easily adapted by institutions of any size. It explores the exhibition planning and development process in a wealth of detail, providing the technical and practical methodologies museum professionals need today.
This 3rd edition includes many new features and expanded chapters on evaluation, virtual exhibitions, multimedia, travelling exhibitions, curiosity and motivation, and DEAI (diversity, equity, accessibility, and inclusion), while retaining the essential content related to interpretive planning, roles and responsibility, and content development. New and exciting case studies, exhibition examples, and more than 200 colour photos and figures illustrate every step of the process. No museum or museum professional can be without this critical guide to an essential function.
