Museum Exhibition Planning and Design

Museum Exhibition Planning and Design

Museum Exhibition Planning and Design is a comprehensive introduction and reference to exhibition planning and design. This book focuses on both the procedural elements of successful planning, like the phases of exhibit design and all associated tasks and issues, and on the design elements that make up the realized exhibit itself, such as color, light, shape, form, space, and building materials. “Museum Exhibition Planning and Design is outstanding, both as a reference and as a how-to guide for the exhibit development process. It is sure to be ‘the Bible’ of museum exhibit design.” ―John McDevitt, Vice President of Operations, Please Touch Museum, Philadelphia “In this valuable and extraordinarily comprehensive guidebook to the exhibition process, Bogle successfully weaves together the conceptual, theoretical and practical elements of exhibit planning and design. Incorporating numerous personal insights and helpful anecdotes, Museum Exhibition Planning and Design is must for every exhibit professional’s bookshelf!” ―Cory Amsler, Vice President of Collections and Interpretation, Mercer Museum and Bucks County Historical Society, PA Elizabeth Bogle has extensive experience in the planning, designing, documenting, and construction of museum exhibits and exhibitions.
