When theory and practice counts!,
By
This review is from: Museum Exhibition (Heritage: Care-Preservation-Management) (Paperback)
This textbook provides to those interested in setting-up museum exhibitions a proper procedure to manage and develop such activities. Each chapter will take you to different phases required in the process to present a museum exhibition. Appendix 2 "Exhibition Request Form" and Appendix 3 "Checklist for Exhibition Develoment", I found of great value for the person in-charge of managing the exhibition "project". I recommend this book to anyone interested on learning how to properly handle a museum exhibition and wants to know about its "theory and practice".
