Description

This is a compilation of recent articles that address the relationships of museums and galleries to their audiences. It not only covers broad themes relevant to providing for all museum visitors, but also focuses specifically on educational groups. The volume includes a wide range of articles and extracts concerning the learning styles and characteristics of children and adults, and methods of evaluating education programmes. The editor emphasizes the need for museums to develop their educational role, in the light of the increasing emphasis on value for money, and the need to improve the quality of the visitor experience. The book is designed for students and museum professionals who wish to develop their awareness of contemporary thinking in museum communication and education.
