Edition: Third

Number Of Pages: 480

Details: Review

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.

This new edition provides updated in-depth, practical information on the conception, organization, and creation of museum exhibitions that made earlier versions my textbook of choice for teaching museum studies and a recommended resource for new professionals. Expanded sections on evaluation, interpretative planning, and digital and emerging media bring this edition up-to-date. Placed at the beginning of the book, the editor and authors engage with critical issues of today’s world, including social justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion – of museum audiences as well as those within the museum.

Product 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-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
