Museum Gallery Interpretation and Material Culture

Museum Gallery Interpretation and Material Culture will publish the proceedings of the first annual Sackler Centre for Arts Education conference at the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A) in London. The conference launched the annual series by addressing the question of how gallery interpretation design and management can help museum visitors learn about art and material culture.ã The book will feature a range of papers by leading academics, museum learning professionals, graduate researchers and curators from Europe, the USA and Canada.Museum Gallery Interpretation and Material Culture draws together and presents current debates around the role of interpretation in museums and galleries, and makes these discussions available to a wide, interested audience. In addition, publishing in book form will enable the editor to present the papers with a narrative, analytical thread which will reflect discussion from the floor of the conference, and situate the whole within contemporary related issues in museology. The international range of the authors and examples will appeal to an international audience.
