Informationen zum Autor David B. Allison is a member of the Arts & History team at the City and County of Broomfield. He is the author of Living History: Effective Costumed Interpretation and Enactment at Museums and Historic Sites (2016) and has worked in museums for almost 20 years. Getting his start in museums at Conner Prairie Interactive History Park, and with a nine-year tenure at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, Allison seeks to connect with people to illuminate important stories. Klappentext Here, David Allison, who has worked at several museums known for effective enactments, provides the fascinating stories of three large living history museums as they adapt to changing audience expectations; a solid overview of the types of interpretation that living history museums use; best practices (and practices for you to avoid) from the reams of data and studies compiled by evaluators over the past 10 years; an exploration of the intersection of public history, individual agency, and business imperatives at museums and historic sites. Living History: Effective Costumed Interpretation and Enactment at Museums and Historic Sites looks at the history of these compelling techniques, provides best practices and strategies for implementing them today, and provides a roadmap for the future of costumed interpretation.
