Review Quotes

The Manual of Digital Museum Planning is an imperative reference point for museum and gallery professionals facing the challenges and opportunities of the digital epoch. The distinguished list of authors, and the breadth of themes the book covers, make it the definitive publication on this brave new world.

This fascinating and valuable book shines a light on where museums could and should be heading in the digital age. It points to ways in which the experience of curators, visitors and scholars can all be transformed and, more controversially, how the power of the megabrands that dominate the museum world, and the internet, can be effectively challenged.
