About the Author
Museum Exhibition Planning and Design is outstanding, both as a reference and as a how-to guide for the exhibit development process. It is sure to be ‘the Bible’ of museum exhibit design.
— John McDevitt, Vice President of Operations, Please Touch Museum, Philadelphia
In this valuable and extraordinarily comprehensive guidebook to the exhibition process, Bogle successfully weaves together the conceptual, theoretical and practical elements of exhibit planning and design. Incorporating numerous personal insights and helpful anecdotes, Museum Exhibition Planning and Design is must for every exhibit professional’s bookshelf!
