Developing Exhibitions

There Is a Method in This Madness

Beschreibung

"This book immediately becomes the reference on how to create exhibitions in modern museums and how to work through the complexities of the exhibition development process, and it does so with humour, flair, and great understanding of the hard work involved." - Russell Briggs, Director Engagement, Exhibitions & Cultural Connection, Australian Museum "This method is an indispensable tool for all museum professionals: from director and curator to project manager and marketeer." - Wim van der Weiden Founder of EMA Developing Exhibitions describes an extensive in-depth methodology and practical framework on the development and production of exhibitions. It is a manual, with schemes and systems and a focus on the processes, and on the practice of developing content and storylines. As there is no other such clear-cut manual at present, it is already clear it will be used by several courses and programmes.
