Description and Table of Contents

Description

A technical introduction to the field of museum and art gallery design. Factual information in notes and diagrams, accompanied by specific illustrated examples of the use of major elements - many of which are innovations in the field - are drawn from a list of key museums, including the Museum of the Moving Image, the National Maritime Museum and the Imperial War Museum. Particular attention is paid to the needs of curators as well as exhibit desgners, and architects should find it a useful compendium to guide work both on new buildings and in the conversion of existing spaces.
