Profile

IoA involvement:

Richard presents case studies of interpretive exhibitions to demonstrate how theory, evaluation and analysis can inform the creative and practical processes of interpretive exhibition design. These examples also show some of the benefits this kind of interpretation can bring to museum audiences.

Students then apply this design approach in workshops supporting their course exhibition projects. The overall methodology simultaneously combines content selection and development, audience-centered innate and cultural interest and behavior, and multi-disciplined creative thinking and problem solving.
