Description
The Engaging Museum: Developing Museums for Visitor Involvement by Graham Black In today's fast-changing world, museums must adapt to remain relevant. This transformation is not just about responding to funding crises, but also about embracing new technologies and societal developments. The result is a transformed 21st-century museum that focuses on developing its audiences as regular users. Such a museum is built around participation and collaboration, offering on-site, online, and mobile experiences that foster meaningful relationships with visitors. It reaches out beyond its walls and opening hours to engage with communities and other agencies, including schools. At its heart lies prolonged user engagement with collections, sparking conversations and dialogues that inspire new perspectives. This book is filled with practical examples of museums that have successfully implemented these changes, providing valuable insights for anyone involved in the museum sector.
