calarco 's review for:
Museum Exhibition Planning and Design
by Elizabeth Bogle
While this volume does contain some good technical and logistical information, especially in regards to exhibit accessibility, it is not without its problems.
First, much of the technical information lacks in-text citations. In addition to being a personal pet-peeve, this is problematic when wanting additional information, or fact-checking a specific topic. Second, much of the information here is really only suited for larger institutions. Tonally it reads as a universal "how to," but its guidance overlooks the realities for the majority of museums in the world.
Much of what is written is based off of the author's personal experiences throughout her career, and has some entertaining, illustrative anecdotes. She seems like a cool professional. Ultimately though, I feel there are better works out there.
