Description

Education departments in museums of all kinds serve millions of students and adult learners every year using the objects and other resources of the museum. Teaching the Museum offers insights, anecdotes, and valuable advice on how to get started and how to succeed in this rapidly growing field. Twenty contributors with decades of museum experience point out the opportunities for new graduates and seasoned teachers alike who want to explore this exciting profession. Review: Great practical, entertaining book every museum professional should own - I actually had to buy this book for my Introduction to Museum Education Course I was taking for masters in Museum Studies but I'm glad I had to buy it. It is a wonderful book full of real practical experience coupled with real world examples from professionals at some of the most well known museums across the country. This book is useful not only for people interested in museum education but looking at pursuing a career in the museum industry or already working in a museum setting. I would definitely recommend this book.
