Product Description
Product Description
Grounded in the strengths of its first edition, this book has been restructured to include new papers and recent articles, and presents front-running theory and practice as it addresses the relationships of museums and galleries to their audiences.
From the Back Cover
Grounded in the solid strengths of its first edition, this second edition illustrates the recent rapid development of communication and learning within museums. The Educational Role of the Museum has been entirely restructured and new papers comprise approximately one third of its contents, making it an up-to-date presentation of front-running theory and practice.

Part one charts the development of museum communication, from mere transmission of information to a more constructivist approach, where the visitor actively constructs knowledge in their own mind. Part two relates constructivist learning theory to specific audiences with differentiated learning needs. Part three applies this learning theory to the development of museum exhibitions. Part four poses questions about the ways museums conceptualise audiences, and analyses
