Productbeschrijving
Recensie
The great value of Museums 101 is that it outlines the basics of exhibition development, collections care, evaluation, and more, in a way that acknowledges that museum work requires specialized expertise. Don't try to re-invent the museum, it tells the collector deciding to build a museum from scratch, or the businessman suddenly appointed to the board. There are things you need to know. Museums have figured out a lot. Read this book to get up to speed. ― Curator: The Museum Journal
As its title implies, this is an introduction to the world of museums, with 24 chapters divided into four sections: Museum Background, Creating an Integrated Museum, Exhibitions, and Behind the Scenes. Also included is a 'Museum Toolkit' which provides sample documents of use to museum personnel. The author outlines his hoped-for readership: 'museum founders, new museum staff and volunteers, those wishing to work in museums, new board members, students, and those wishing to contract services with a museum.' From finances and marketing, to creating an online presence and project management, this volume presents the key elements of museum operation. An additional feature of this volume is access to a companion website with additional resources on the subject. Libraries serving any of the readers listed by the author, or readers simply interested in how museums 'work,' will want to have this volume. Its clear language and excellent organization will make it accessible to all levels of their patrons. ― American Reference Books Annual
Museums 101 is a straight forward 'how-to' book for people new to the field of museums and for those interested in entering professions in the museum field. A perfect book to hand to a new volunteer, new staff or board member and say 'here are the basics. -- Van A. Romans, president, Fort Worth Museum of Science and History, and member of the Board of Trustees, American Alliance of Museums
Museums 101 is very interesting and useful for those managing museums or interested in organizing one. -- Sergey Solovyev, Department of Greek and Roman Antiquities, The State Hermitage Museum, Russia
Museums 101 is an amazing and comprehensive resource, full of great insights of how museums work. -- Alison Spence, Exhibitions and Loans Registrar, National Museum of Australia

Laura BullingerBeoordeeld in de Verenigde Staten op 14 november 20165,0 van 5 sterren So-oo glad I bought it!
Formaat: PaperbackGeverifieerde aankoopI really love this book, and appreciate the depth of knowledge that the author Mark Walhimer put into it. Mr. Walhimer clearly is a devotee of the world of museums, putting in lots of website addresses and names of institutions with locations. The book is laid out very well by chapter and subject headings. It carefully covers important details. As I read the book, I felt as though the author was sitting nearby speaking to me because it's written in layman's easy-going terminology. For me, this book is one that needs to be read straight through, then gone over once or twice to allow for follow-up to all the suggestions and advice. Museums 101 is a textbook suitable for educating oneself and it's an upbeat manual, not boring at all. I actually couldn't put it down until I went through it cover to cover, and I'm now on the 3rd reading so as to utilize the links and look up websites listed inside.

Marco SBeoordeeld in Italië op 28 april 20175,0 van 5 sterren A handbook with a vision
Formaat: PaperbackGeverifieerde aankoopI've been working in museums for 20 years now, and this is by far one of the best books I've read. Apparently is a humble, entry level book on "how to make a museum from scratch", in reality it advocates a visitor centric approach and an integrated strategy that unfortunately are still missing in too many museums. Absolutely worth reading both for people who'd love to enter the museum field as well as for expert museum professionals.

Thomas D. Mackie Ph.D.Beoordeeld in de Verenigde Staten op 1 april 20175,0 van 5 sterren The Best Guide for Museums
Formaat: PaperbackGeverifieerde aankoopAfter over 30 years in museums and often teaching on museums we finally have a readable yet complete text for students. Mark Walhimer covers all the essential themes for beginners in museum studies within a series of short and very readable chapters. Added materials and handouts are included for student use which helps students get connected to the profession. I appreciated the emphasis on mission and ethics expected from practitioners. I will use it for my next museum class. The content is very current yet the mission of our profession is clearly defended to a new practitioners.

Amazon CustomerBeoordeeld in de Verenigde Staten op 24 maart 20165,0 van 5 sterren easy to read chunks of valuable information
Formaat: PaperbackGeverifieerde aankoopRunning a specialised museum in regional Australia, we use books and online resources as our main source of information and inspiration. Museum's 101 gave us both. It is divided into small, easy to read chunks of valuable information. Being written by an author on the other side of the world we wondered if it would have enough relevance to us, but our Custodian has been a subscriber to Mark's blog for some years now and found it valuable, so we gave it a go. We find it practical, very readable and very useful.
We now recommend this book to our colleagues, and would also highly recommend it to anyone interested in the Museum sector.
