Engaging audiences through costumed staff at museums and historic
sites is one of the most effective ways to interpret the past for a
public used to multimedia presentations on their TVs and computers.
Here, David Allison, who has worked at several museums known for
effective enactments, provides: *the fascinating stories of three
large living history museums as they adapt to changing audience
expectations. *a solid overview of the types of interpretation that
living history museums use. *best practices (and practices for you
to avoid) from the reams of data and studies compiled by evaluators
over the past 10 years. *an exploration of the the intersection of
public history, individual agency, and business imperatives at
museums and historic sites. Connecting with Guests in Museums:
Living History Techniques Then and Now looks at the history of
these compelling techniques, provides best practices and strategies
for implementing them today, and provides a roadmap for the future
of costumed interpretation.
