How are museums made relevant to a broad range of visitors of varying ages, identities, and social classes? Does appealing to a larger audience force museums to "dumb down" their work? What internal changes are required? Based on a multi-year Kress Foundation-sponsored study of 20 innovative American and European collections-based museums recognized by their peers to be visitor-centered, Peter Samis and Mimi Michaelson answer these key questions for the field. The book describes key institutions that have opened the doors to a wider range of visitors; addresses the internal struggles to reorganize and democratize these institutions; uses case studies, interviews of key personnel, Key Takeaways, and additional resources to help museum professionals implement a visitor-centered approach in collections-based institutions."--Provided by publisher. 606 $aMuseums$xManagement 606 $aMuseums$xManagement$vCase studies 606 $aMuseum visitors 606 $amuseum$9eng$2eurovoc 606 $aarts$9eng$2eurovoc 606 $awork of art$9eng$2eurovoc 606 $acase study$9eng$2eurovoc 606 $aUnited States$9eng$2eurovoc 606 $aNetherlands$9eng$2eurovoc 606 $aGermany$9eng$2eurovoc 615 0$aMuseums$xManagement. 615 0$aMuseums$xManagement 615 0$aMuseum visitors. 615 7$amuseum 615 7$aarts 615 7$awork of art 615 7$acase study 615 7$aUnited States 615 7$aNetherlands 615 7$aGermany 676 $a069.068 686 $a32.08$2EP-CLASS 700 $aSamis$b Peter S.$0976331 701 $aMichaelson$b Mimi$0976332 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910155116803321 996 $aCreating the visitor-centered museum$92223937 997 $aUNINA
