User Review - Flag as inappropriate An engaging read that reflects the author's experience and passion in the subject. He draws on various disciplines such as psychology and sociology to make the case of improving the museum by adopting a visitor-centred approach. The writing style is clear, simple and accessible, and explains otherwise abstruse academic theories in straightforward terms. This book will stand the test of time because certain theories of human behaviour never change, such as Maslow's hierarchy of needs. The framework for the book (personal context + physical context + social context = the interactive experience) is well presented and defended throughout the book. A must read for any student of museum studies. Oh, and this slim book can be read in a day! User Review - Flag as inappropriate interactive experience model Related booksContents
