Autor John W. Jacobsenen Limba Engleză Hardback – 30 sep 2022
These practical suggestions can help you:
revise your museum's conceptual frameworkrevitalize your audiences and supporters reorganize your museumreinvest in your resources (staff, collections, facilities, etc.)reposition your programming and restore management basics. This book seeks to help you rethink these key museum practice through a diversity of suggestions, not a single system. However, the suggestions share definitions and frameworks and a unifying voice and structure. While any museum can adopt whichever suggestions are appropriate, the last chapter helps you explore how the suggestions might be mutually reinforcing.
Each chapter includes a) generalized statement of a problem and the need for new ideas; b) new suggestions implementable in many museums; c) the likely resistance; e) a summation of the idea's potential impacts and benefits, and e) the start of an implementation process.
The suggestions vary in form-some are suggested strategies, others lists of options or research questions or implementation steps.
In attitude, The Effective Museum is not thou shall, but much more think about trying this suggestion Underlying all suggestions is a new way of thinking about museum practices as a basis for readers to build their own learning and legacy.

Jacobsen's insights have transformed the organizations I've led and profoundly impact everything that I do as a museum planner.

Museum professionals of many stripes will definitely benefit from absorbing, reflecting on, and putting into practice those of his recommendations that address their most pressing needs.
If you have to purchase one 'primer' for your museum staff, make it, The Effective Museum. The wisdom contained in these pages on collaboration, definition of the modern audience, the importance of constantly looking outside our walls for answers will propel your Museum family to think in new and innovative ways that bring success and relevance.
If the pandemic has had any silver lining for museums, it has been the accelerated opportunity to re-examine who we are and what we mean to our recovering communities. The Effective Museum takes a comprehensive look at today's complicated museum model, breaking it down component by component in search of new ways of thinking about its many once-traditional roles and operations.
