[MCN-L] New Book from MuseumsEtc: MUSEUMS AND VISITOR PHOTOGRAPHY

[Graeme Farnell]

List members may be interested in this new book, currently available with
Early-Bird 15% savings.

“Over one trillion photographs were taken last year... Photography is
profoundly redefining the museum experience - inside and online.”

Based on innovative practice in leading museums and galleries (including
the British Museum, Carnegie Museum of Art, Rijksmuseum and Wellcome
Collection), and the latest research, this lavishly-illustrated, 500-page
handbook will help you understand, connect with, and sympathetically manage
visitors’ participation - both within the museum and online.

Positive and proactive involvement with visitor photography is still in its
infancy in most museums and galleries. But here, 18 authors share their
experiences of visitor photography and how its creative use can result in:

* enhancing social interaction and creativity
* encouraging audience engagement
* motivating learning
* helping recurate exhibitions
* connecting with new audiences
* and encouraging the contribution of new content.
