"Exhibitions are popular and do attract growing audiences. An exhibition, however, is one of the most complicated forms of media to develop and to get a story across. It is an expensive medium too, where a wide spectrum of specialists is required. To develop an exhibition therefore is a great challenge and requires even a kind of madness. This book offers a methodology for developing an exhibition - or a museum for that matter - to anybody involved in this adventure, based on a solid practical experience. As the methodology is described in building blocks, it can be applied as a whole, as well as cherrypicked." -- vendor website, viewed July 7, 2021
