Description

With chapters written by practitioners from across the museum field and around the world, this book explores the efficacy and ethics of museum storytelling. It shows how museums use personal, local, and specific stories to make visitors feel welcome while inspiring them to engage with new ideas and unfamiliar situations. At the same time, the book explores the responsibilities of museum practitioners toward the storytellers included in their narratives and how those responsibilities shift over time and manifest in different contexts.
