The Museum Experience Revisited Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
The first book to take a "visitor's eye view" of the museum visit when it was first published in 1992, The Museum Experience revolutionized the way museum professionals understand their constituents. Falk and Dierking have updated this essential reference, incorporating advances in research, theory, and practice in the museum field over the last twenty years. Written in clear, non-technical style, The Museum Experience Revisited paints a thorough picture of why people go to museums, what they do there, how they learn, and what museum practitioners can do to enhance these experiences.

I am giving this a five because I think that it hits on all of the points of museums. However, I would like to add that this is really for the beginner, or for someone who just likes to read everything they can about a subject. To be honest, I opened it just enough to get my discussion board done, and even some weeks didn't open this one at all. Why? because the same information is in other books. However, I think that for someone just getting into Museum studies, this is a perfect first book.
Excellent book and in-depth overview of the museum "business", the constituent's profiles, and challenges museums face in the 21st century. A must read for anyone going into the museum non-profit sector.
Excellent update. It's hard to find books on the museum field written in an engaging manner. This one isn't perfect, but getting there.
