Histories of Exhibition Design in the Museum by Kate Guy

Histories of Exhibition Design in the Museum: Makers, Process and Practice offers a new model for understanding exhibition design in museums as a human and material process. It presents diverse case studies from around the world, from the nineteenth century to the recent past.

'As definitions of the museum continue to expand, this book makes valuable contributions to ongoing debatesEach generation has its own priorities, politics, and restrictions, but there is an arrogance that assumes that history is best ignored. Here, multiple authors demonstrate how wrong we can be.' Dinah Casson, CBE RDI, Co-founder of Casson Mann

'This book fills a huge and important museum history gap - its focus on the process of making exhibitions and its wide global and chronological coverage uncovers hidden histories in exhibition design, and points the way to the future.' Kate Hill, Associate Professor of History, University of Lincoln, UK

'A must for anyone interested in exhibitions, design and museums, this book cuts new swathes through exhibition design history, and presents "behind the scenes" practices, processes and labour as worthy subjects in their own right.' Pat Kirkham, Professor of Design History, Kingston University, UK; Professor Emerita, Bard Graduate Center, USA
