Museums and Silent Objects: Designing Effective Exhibitions (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

In museums, visitors are immediately drawn to striking or iconic objects, but there are many less conspicuous but important items which illustrate cultural contexts and content and are equally deserving of their attention. The authors of Museums and Silent Objects, offer a methodology for judging the quality of museum exhibitions from the visitor's perspective, and offer practical tools for museum professionals to evaluate displays, and design new galleries and exhibits. Fully illustrated and based on studies of world-famous galleries, this book is essential reading for those creating effective museum displays.
