As the first book to take a "visitors eye view" of the museum visit; The Museum Experience revolutionized the way museum professionals understand their constituents. Falk and Dierking integrate their original research from a wide variety of disciplines as well as visitor studies from institutions ranging from science centers and zoos to art and natural history museums. Written in clear; non-technical style; The Museum Experience paints a thorough picture of why people go to museums; what they do there; how they learn; and what museum practitioners can do to enhance these experiences. This book is an essential reference for all museum professionals and students of museum studies; and has been used widely for higher education courses in the U.S.; Canada; and the U.K.; and has been translated into Japanese and Chinese. Originally published in 1992; the book is now available from Left Coast Press; Inc. as of November 2010.
