Interpretation: Education, Programs, and Exhibits

Small Museum Toolkit #5

by Cinnamon Catlin-Legutko (Editor), Stacy Klingler (Editor), Bob Beatty (Editor)

Interpretation helps the public understand our purpose and mission. In this book, we tackle how to orient your organization to be effective interpreters of what you collect; how to tell engaging stories; and how to address difficult issues you may have avoided. We provide a primer in historical research for the non-historian and the do-it-yourself basics for creating good exhibits, tours, and programs on a small museum budget.
