Reviews

The museum landscape has already changed. If we wish to remain both relevant and successful we must foster real, meaningful engagement with our audiences. Juilee Decker has done a phenomenal job curating of a set of case studies that focus on substantive, in-the-trenches examples of innovative experimentation in our field. These triumphs, setbacks, and new methodologies are what push us forward. Kudos to Dr. Decker for helping to expedite the process! -- Dustin Growick, Team Lead for Science Content and Programs, Museum Hack
