Synopsis

  • An indispensable tool for all museum professionals, describing the framework on the development and production of exhibitions
"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.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

Dit boek beschrijft een methode in het ontwikkelen van tentoonstellingen. Het ontwikkelen van tentoonstellingen is dankbaar gekkenwerk, want gecompliceerd en stressvol. Het kost vaak kunst en vliegwerk om binnen de afgesproken tijd en<br/>budgetten te blijven. En het helpt niet als de teams van ontwikkelaars, ontwerpers en bouwers vaak wisselen in samenstelling. 'There is a method to this madness' biedt ondersteuning. Het is een handboek, een uitgewerkte en gedetailleerde methode voor het ontwikkelen van een tentoonstelling. Het levert een praktisch grondplan van werken en direct toepasbare werkvormen, óók voor kleinere projecten. De methode is een product van de European Museum Academy. Het boek is geschreven in het Engels.<br/>
