Over recent decades, many museums, galleries and historic sites
around the world have enjoyed an unprecedented level of large-scale
investment in their capital infrastructure, in building
refurbishments and new gallery displays. This period has also seen
the creation of countless new purpose-built museums and galleries,
suggesting a fundamental re-evaluation of the processes of
designing and shaping of museums.
Museum Making: Narratives, Architectures, Exhibitions examines
this re-making by exploring the inherently spatial character of
narrative in the museum and its potential to connect on the deepest
levels with human perception and imagination. Through this uniting
theme, the chapters explore the power of narratives as structured
experiences unfolding in space and time as well as the use of
theatre, film and other technologies of storytelling by
contemporary museum makers to generate meaningful and, it is argued
here, highly effective and affective museum spaces. Contributions
by an internationally diverse group of museum and heritage
professionals, exhibition designers, architects and artists with
academics from a range of disciplines including museum studies,
theatre studies, architecture, design and history cut across
traditional boundaries including the historical and the
contemporary and together explore the various roles and functions
of narrative as a mechanism for the creation of engaging and
meaningful interpretive environments.
