Product Information
In recent years, museums have developed into multi-dimensional organizations - displaying, preserving and collecting objects which are of increasing interest to the global community. They have adapted to a consumer-oriented world and now compete with other leisure-time activities for visitors' time and attention. This text considers an integrated approach to exhibition development from theory to practice. The field of exhibition preparation is a complex one and demands a variety of professional skills. Designers must have creative ability and aesthetic sense as well as considerable skills in writing, management and interpretation. This work examines a wide range of exhibition development concerns, including planning and design of exhibitions, collections, care of exhibits, display evaluation and administration, content and text development for exhibitions and computer usage. It provides a complete outline for all those concerned with providing displays for museums and similar cultural heritage centres.Product Identifiers
