Samenvatting
At the beginning of the 1990s, public museums in Great Britain were beginning to apply charges for entry. The visiting public was being reinvented as the individualised customer. Museum displays are no longer defined by their collections, but by the stories they tell, the chosen theme of their exhibition and the lack of specialist knowledge. Accessibility prevailes as a key item. A gallery in the London Science museum serves as an example for this development. |
