Description

What does the transformation to a visitor-centered approach do for a museum? How are museums made relevant to a broad range of visitors of varying ages, identities, and social classes? Does appealing to a larger target market force museums to “dumb down” their work? What internal changes are required? According to a multi-year, Kress Foundation–sponsored study of ten innovative American and European collections primarily based museums recognized by their peers to be visitor centered, Peter Samis and Mimi Michaelson answer these key questions for the sector. The book:
• describes key institutions that experience opened the doors to a much wider range of visitors;
• addresses the inner struggles to reorganize and democratize these institutions;
• uses case studies, interviews of key workforce, Key Takeaways, and additional resources to lend a hand museum professionals put in force a visitor-centered approach in collections-primarily based institutions.
