Product description

Author: Freda Matassa

This book is the first manual addressed to museum professionals, librarians and archivists, which comprehensively provides tips on how to successfully plan and organise an exhibition. The advice and principles contained therein are based on the experience of international museum practice, but can be applied to any type of exhibition or show being prepared. The material is presented in chronological order – from the creation of the idea of the exhibition to its legacy. The book contains advice, tips and sources of information for those who need in-depth knowledge and up-to-date information on new solutions for sustainable development and flexible environmental conditions. The reader will also find the ten most common mistakes and ten tips that will ensure the success of every exhibition. The first part of the book describes ten key stages of organising a successful exhibition. These are: conception, planning, organisation, packaging and transportation, assembly, opening, exhibition maintenance and educational programmes, closing, traveling exhibitions and legacy. The second part of the manual consists of a glossary of terms along with advice and sources of information supplementing the information provided in the first part. The author of the book is a well-known international expert. The manual was written for both people organising an exhibition for the first time in mind, as well as the staff of professional institutions in which the principles presented should be treated as a standard for organising successful exhibitions. The book is recommended to museum workers, students dealing with cultural heritage, librarians, archivists, private collectors, and anyone who needs practical tips on how to organise an exhibition.
