An extremely current and interesting book. It is downloadable by chapters in the author's website. However, I don't regret I bought it! It is worthy to have it in your library.

For Inspiration start here
17 May 2010
Format:Paperback
This is a field report from the cutting edge of modern museology. Nina sets out the case for participation in a clearly structured distillation of her wide experiences, including lots of case studies which are backed up with more detail on the linked website.
I read the book on holiday and came back fired up with new ideas to try. Can't recommend it highly enough, if you're in the business, just add it to your basket now, you won't regret it.

A Must Read for all Exhibition Designers
17 April 2010
Format:Paperback
As a student of Exhibition Design at FIT in NYC, I found Nina's book to be a must read for anyone who is interested in creating meaningful and personal cultural experiences. The book serves as a guide for understanding exactly what visitor participation can be, can look like, and how it can be evaluated. The organization of information and the numerous case studies used help the reader to digest the otherwise complex task of empowering individuals in cultural institutions. Everyone is talking about "interactive, social" exhibit environments, but Nina Simon actually describes ways that this can be achieved successfully. An inspiring read that I will refer to for the rest of my career!

An Important Step In The Right Direction
13 Oct 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Nina Simon's "The Participatory Museum" is a must-read for museums small, medium, or large. In a time when museums are both engaged in fierce competition with eachother and other forms of public entertainment as well as continuously attemping to prove their cultural significance and value to a public already bombarded and oversaturated with information, "The Participatory Museum" is a blueprint that outlines how institutions may remain relevant in the contemporary fiscal and cultural climate.
