Museum spaces: new book on ‘narratives, architecture and exhibitions’
Museum Making: Narratives, Architectures, Exhibitions has been edited by Suzanne MacLeod, Senior Lecturer in our School of Museum Studies, together with two colleagues at the University of Nottingham.
Published by Routledge in both hardback and paperback, the book contains a series of chapters by museum and heritage professionals, exhibition designers, architects, artists and academics working in museum studies, theatre studies, architecture, design and history. These expert contributors discuss the design, purpose and form of modern museums and how that affects the visitor experience. Or, as the publisher puts it:
The School of Museum Studies and our University Bookshop will hold a book launch on Monday 26 March 2012 at 5.00pm in the Museum Studies Building (just off main campus at 19 University Road). At this event the book will be available at a special launch price, knocking five pounds off the cover price. For the paperback that’s a 15% reduction to just £27.99. (The hardback will be £85 instead of the normal £90.) There will be wine and nibbles too.
