Customer Reviews

Really, that's it??
I was disappointed with most every aspect of this book. There is little actual content; what there is lacks any creative spark. The graphics do little more than pad this slim volume. It took just an hour to read and even that felt wasted. I do not think this is a book for museum professionals.

Good for Beginners
This is a very handy book to have for novices setting up exhibition spaces (like me). It's a step-by-step workbook, complete with exercises and blank forms useful as both learning and planning tools. In fact, the authors encourage the reader to make copies of the forms for their own use, distribute them throughout the organization, and modify them as necessary.

The book is quite short, but the thinking required makes it a longer read than it appears. Many of the exercises require more than one person, so it's really better to use the book when actually planning an exhibition make-over rather than trying to comprehend it all by oneself.

For those more experienced at setting up galleries, this might be old hat, but it could also be a useful reminder of the basic thought-processes one should go through when setting up an exhibition room.
