Museum Interpretation Museum interpretation presents a number of particular challenges for the interpreter.
Traditionally museum interpretation hasn’t been at the forefront of museum presentations. What many museums optimistically call interpretation, is in fact “information", which is a different thing altogether! (see Tilden’s Principles).
In general museums are filled with “dead peoples things”, inert object that make little connection to the audience.
What we need to do as interpreters is bring these inert objects to life in a way that engages and inspires the audience in a deeply profound way.
Only through effective museum interpretation can you make that meaningful connection that helps people learn from, and care about your museum exhibits and motivate them to react to them in a particular way.
If you need help in planning and developing your museum interpretation...and you want it done right, speak to us and discover why we are the very best at what we do.
