"Leslie Bedford, former director of the highly regarded Bank Street College museum leadership program, expands the museum professional's vision of exhibitions beyond the simple goal of
transmitting knowledge to the visitor. Her view of exhibitions as interactive, emotional, embodied, imaginative experiences opens a new vista for those designing them. Using examples both from
her own work at the Boston Children's Museum and from other institutions around the globe, Bedford offers the museum professional abold new vision built around narrative, imagination, and
aesthetics, merging the work of the educator with that of the artist. It is important reading for all museum professionals"--
