Beskrivning
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-centered 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.This manual 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 exhibition, curiosity and motivation, 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 color photos and figures illustrate every step of the process. No museum or museum professional can be without this critical guide to an essential function.

Recensioner i media

The third edition of Manual of Museum Exhibitions (first edition, 2002) offers a thorough, up-to-date guide for anyone engaged in exhibition processes, from development and design to implementation. These distinct phases of the exhibition process are framed by five interrogative adverbs—why, where, what, who, how—each of which corresponds to a section of the volume, with one or more chapters devoted to answering the question posed therein. The sections address, respectively, the purpose of exhibitions, in particular how museums respond to a changing world and greater community engagement; physical requirements to mount permanent and temporary exhibitions; types of exhibitions (on-site and online) and their content from science to art; ways of understanding visitors and exploring the impact of diversity, equality, accessibility and inclusion on the development process; and the roles, responsibilities, and tasks of the development process. This last section consists of nearly half the chapters and numerous case studies to support the many facets of interpretive planning, design and content coordination, and fabrication and installation that enable exhibitions to realize connections between the visitor, object, and the stories offered or facilitated in exhibitions. This volume will appeal to readers interested in curatorial studies, museology, heritage management, history of collections, library and information sciences, and related fields. Recommended. Lower- and upper-division undergraduates; professionals.
