Museums are at a critical moment in their history. In order to
ensure survival into the next century, museums and galleries must
demonstrate their social relevance and use. This means developing
their public service functions through becoming more knowledgeable
about the needs of their visitors and more adept at providing
enjoyable and worthwhile experiences. Museums and Their Visitors
aims to help museums and galleries in this crucial task. It
examines the ways in which museums need to develop their
communicative functions and, with examples of case-studies,
explains how to achieve best practice. The special needs of a
number of target audiences including schools, families and people
with disabilities are outlined and illustrated by examples of
exhibition, education and marketing policies. The book looks in
detail at the power of objects to inspire and stimulate and
analyses the use of language in museums and galleries. This is the
first book to be written to guide museum and gallery staff in the
development of provision for their visitors. It will be of interest
to students of museum, heritage and leisure and tourism studies, as
well as to international museum professionals.
