The Art Of Museum Exhibitions: How Story And Imagination Create Aesthetic Experiences
Download Free (EPUB, PDF)

Leslie Bedford, former director of the highly regarded Bank Street College museum leadership program, expands the museum professional’s vision of exhibitions beyond the simple goal of transmitting knowledge to the visitor. Her view of exhibitions as interactive, emotional, embodied, imaginative experiences opens a new vista for those designing them. Using examples both from her own work at the Boston Children’s Museum and from other institutions around the globe, Bedford offers the museum professional a bold new vision built around narrative, imagination, and aesthetics, merging the work of the educator with that of the artist. It is important reading for all museum professionals.

Grad school theory when I was looking for basic concept do's and don'ts. Very interesting though and will become more relevant a I progress.

Wonderfully researched and organized. Great for anyone who works on museums exhibitions.

Excellent!
