Museum Thresholds is a progressive, interdisciplinary volume and
the first to explore the importance and potential of entrance
spaces for visitor experience. Bringing together an international
collection of writers from different disciplines, the chapters in
this volume offer different theoretical perspectives on the nature
of engagement, interaction and immersion in threshold spaces, and
the factors which enable and inhibit those immersive possibilities.
Organised into themed sections, the book explores museum thresholds
from three different perspectives. Considering them first as a
problem space, the contributors then go on to explore thresholds
through different media and, finally, draw upon other subjects and
professions, including performance, gaming, retail and discourse
studies, in order to examine them from an entirely new perspective.
Drawing upon examples that span Asia, North America and Europe, the
authors set the entrance space in its historical, social and
architectural contexts. Together, the essays show how the
challenges posed by the threshold can be rethought and reimagined
from a variety of perspectives, each of which have much to bring to
future thinking and design. Combining both theory and practice,
Museum Thresholds should be essential reading for academics,
researchers and postgraduate students working in museum studies,
digital heritage, architecture, design studies, retail studies and
media studies. It will also be of great interest to museum
practitioners working in a wide variety of institutions around the
globe.
