Book Description

The Manual of Museum Exhibitions is a practical, hands-on, comprehensive guide to the entire process of planning, designing, producing, and evaluating exhibitions for museums of all kinds. Conceived, organized, and edited by Gail and Barry Lord, this invaluable book includes contributions by masters of each step in the complex art of museum exhibition-making. Subjects range from traditional displays of art, artifacts, and specimens from the permanent collection to the latest developments in virtual reality, online exhibitions, simulators, and big-screen reality.
An exciting array of stimulating case studies featuring outstanding museum exhibitions from both sides of the Atlantic makes this manual all the more valuable to practitioners and students of the museum profession, architects, designers and the many specialized contractors involved in 21st-century exhibitions. The book is also useful and interesting reading for museum Trustees and Board members, volunteers, and all others who understand and enjoy the educational value of today's museum exhibitions.
The Manual of Museum Exhibitions is particularly remarkable for its comprehensive scope, including evaluation processes, exhibition gallery requirements, and practical methods for each step in the planning, design, production, and project management of exhibitions. The final chapter surveys contemporary developments and presents a particularly impressive group of case studies that suggest possible directions for museum exhibition development in the new millennium.

Editorial Reviews

Review

The pages of the manual bulge with knowledge and case studies from 45 very experienced museum professionals from the USA, Canada, and Britain...It takes you step by step through all areas of exhibition development, from the germ of an idea to what you could sell in the shop....An alternative could be 'Everything you ever wanted to know about exhibition development but were too frightened to ask'. (Vicki Northey Museum National )

This book provides generously abundant information on many crucial fields of museum practice, aspiring to become a basic usable code of 'grammar and syntax' for the museum exhibition field. From this point of view, it is a major contribution and all those who are involved in museum exhibition practical matters will find a great deal of help in it. (Eurydice Retsila Visitor Studies Today! )

This is a valuable book on a broad subject, with many useful insights into the 'bigger picture' of museum exhibitions. It is good to see a section dedicated to interpretive planning...if you want a single textbook about museum exhibitions, this is it. (Interpret Scotland )
