Museum Basics

Drawing from a wide range of practical experience, the authors provide a basic guide to all aspects of museum work, from audience development and education, through collections management and conservation, to museum organisation and forward planning. Organised on a modular basis, Museum Basics can be used as textbook for museum studies students, a reference work to assist day-to-day museum management and as the key resource for professional development programmes. It has been fully updated to address the recent changes in the museums world.
