Museum and Gallery Education by Eilean Hooper-Greenhill
This text provides a thorough overview of the educational aims of all kinds of museums and galleries. It includes a discussion of different types of museums, their educational structures and arrangement, all of which vary enormously. Different forms of education provision are examined in relation to various types of both collection and audience. Taking into consideration the increased emphasis, at both local and governmental levels, on public service and customer care, Hooper-Greenhill discusses, and makes practical suggestions for the way forward for museums.Eilean Hooper-Greenhill has taught in a variety of settings, including schools, colleges, museums, and galleries.
