Interpreting Food At Museums and Historic Sites

Informationen zum Autor Michelle Moon oversees adult learning and interpretation at the Peabody Essex Museum (PEM) in Salem, MA, a museum of global art, culture, and history, where she has forged connections between art, culture, ideas and audiences since 2009. She frequently speaks to professional audiences and has presented at the New England Museum Association, the American Association for State and Local History, the Association of Living History Farms and Agricultural Museums, and the National Council for Public History, as well as lecturing to college and graduate audiences on topics in museum interpretation, adult learning and food history. Klappentext Interpreting Food offers a framework for understanding the big ideas in food history, suggesting best practices for linking objects, exhibits and demonstrations with the larger story of change in food production and consumption over the past two centuries – a story in which your visitors can see themselves, and explore their own relationships to food. This book can help you develop food interpretation with depth and significance, making relevant connections to contemporary issues and visitor interests.
