Museum Provocateur, Gebunden

Klappentext

Dr. Harold K. Skramstad Jr., renowned museum practitioner as president emeritus of The Henry Ford, wrote many provocative essays, articles, keynote and symposia papers on the challenges and opportunities of the American museum.
Written over three decades, they address the fundamental issues and concerns that we still wrestle with today. Skramstad reminds us that all museums-big and small-have an obligation to be outwardly focused in their communities, helping to address people's problems and collaborating with a broad range of partners. These dynamic, back-to-basics writings from one of our most successful museum leaders, have inspired museum veterans and are now available to a new generation of readers.
These essays include topics that are introduced by eminent museum professionals who help place the essays in context and relate how these writings have personally affected them. These topics include:
· Defining problems we can address in our community by honing our mission
· Actively and broadly engaging with our community through outreach and partnerships
· Creating entertaining, awe-inspiring educational experiences
· Leading change by empowering team-based work
