The Museum Experience Revisited
By John H. Falk and Lynn D. Dierking
"The first edition of this book made me─and many others─fall in love with museum work. This new edition pushes all of us to work with more sensitivity and nuance to make museums as useful and compelling as possible."
-Nina Simon, Author of The Participatory Museum and the Museum 2.0 Blog
Interpretive Planning for Museums
Integrating Visitor Perspectives in Decision Making
By Marcella Wells, Barbara Butler, and Judith Koke
"This book is truly an important addition to the field. Practical without being plodding. Charts the complexity of the issues but makes it feel possible to master them. Reminds us from whence we came and charts the path toward which we need to go."
-Kelly McKinley, Richard and Elizabeth Currie Executive Director, Education and Public Programming, Art Gallery of Ontario
