Reviews

Reading Art Education in Canadian Museums: Practices in Action, was inspiring. I journey across the country, encountering museums as performative touchstones of learning and cross-cultural connections. Curators, artists, scholars and educators create enlivening programs, recognizing the 'beauty of human complexity in action'.  I wish that I had a museum to reimagine as a communal space of belonging and enlivening encounters to welcome those who arrive. And awakened to the critical issues of absence, silenced, ignored, I see the possibilities in the exemplary programs shared by authors and their thoughtful approaches to the challenges and issues faced by today’s museums in all their variations of presentation. -- Lynn Fels * Professor, Simon Fraser University *


This is an excellent overview of recent trends in Canadian museums to reinvent themselves and their audiences through experiential and participatory ways. Museum educators, as well as educators in schools or postsecondary institutions, or anyone who is interested in introducing art objects and exhibitions to others in inclusive ways, will benefit from learning a variety of ways to support learning and meaningful engagement in interpretation. The book will also appeal to researchers interested in theoretical perspectives involved in interpretation. It is an important contribution to thinking about the role of interpretation in the arts and the many ways that art offers engagement with issues of importance without hindering the exchange of views. -- Valerie Triggs * Professor, University of Regina * Reading Art Education in Canadian Museums: Practices in Action, was inspiring.
