Abstract
We cite from the PUBLISHER:
"This very practical book guides museums on how to create the highest quality experience possible for their visitors. Creating an environment that supports visitor engagement with collections means examining every stage of the visit, from the initial impetus to go to a particular institution, to front-of-house management, interpretive approach and qualitative analysis afterwards. This holistic approach will be immensely helpful to museums in meeting the needs and expectations of visitors and building their audience base. Because The Engaging Museum offers a set of principles that can be adapted to any museum in any location, it will be a valuable resource for institutions of every shape and size."
"Especially designed to be user-friendly, The Engaging Museum includes:
* Chapter introductions and discussion sections
* Supporting case studies to show how ideas are put into practice
* A lavish selection of tables, figures and plates to support and illustrate the discussion
*Boxes showing ideas, models and planning suggestions to guide development
* An up-to-date bibliography of landmark research"
"The Engaging Museum will appeal internationally to students and teachers from a wide range of post-graduate museum courses in museology, museum studies, gallery studies, heritage studies and management, as well as to those studying tourism and visitor attraction management. It is also highly relevant to any professional planning a new museum exhibition or applying for grant aid for exhibition development."
