About this book: This volume considers in depth contemporary approaches to museum communication - museums as media, museums and audiences and the evaluation of museums. It begins by placing museum communication in the context of mass communication and media studies. The book is divided into three sections, the first analyzing how museums and galleries construct and transmit complex systems of value and legitimation through processes of collection and exhibition. The second section raises philosophical and management issues and explores examples of work with specific audiences. The third section uses examples and case-studies to introduce methods for studying consumption in museums. This book is compiled for people who want to develop a more critical and informed professional practice in relation to museum and gallery audiences. The mix of philosophical discussion, combined with practical examples will allow readers to develop their analytical skills and teach them how to develop their reflection on day-to-day activities and operation within their museums. For people in professions related to museums and who are interested in current debates and issues in the sector, this book will be of value to them. Chapters: Part 1. Museums as Media Part 2. Communication in Action Part 3. Evaluating the Communication Process
