Archaeological Displays and the Public
Paulette M. McManus
This revised second edition contains new material which reflects the current concerns of all those who work to bring the 'there and then' into the 'here and now', for those who visit exhibitions and sites out of a desire for relaxation, new experiences, curiosity, information and affirmation of their place in the long chain of human history. The book retains chapters of perennial concern from the first edition and its three-part structure of 'The Institutional Setting', 'Archaeology Indoors: Museum Exhibitions', and 'Archaeology Outdoors: Site Interpretation and Education'. There is an emphasis on reports of specific case studies that illustrate broad principles in a manner which provides sufficient detail for those who might wish to adapt initiatives to their own circumstances. This book will be an invaluble source for professional interpreters, site managers, museum professionals and students on museum studies and heritage courses.
