As the first book to take a "visitor's eye view" of the museum
visit, The Museum Experience revolutionized the way museum
professionals understand their constituents. Falk and Dierking
integrate their original research from a wide variety of
disciplines as well as visitor studies from institutions ranging
from science centers and zoos to art and natural history museums.
Written in clear, non-technical style, The Museum Experience paints
a thorough picture of why people go to museums, what they do there,
how they learn, and what museum practitioners can do to enhance
these experiences. This book is an essential reference for all
museum professionals and students of museum studies, and has been
used widely for higher education courses in the U.S., Canada, and
the U.K., and has been translated into Japanese and Chinese.
Originally published in 1992, the book is now available from Left
Coast Press, Inc. as of November 2010.
