“Interpreting art when access, inclusion and engagement

is key. World-class galleries share their experience.”

The successful interpretation of art collections is often challenging and contentious: How to avoid damaging the relationship between viewer and art work? How to tackle esoteric, complex or controversial themes? How to present the “meaning” of a work? How to involve audiences for whom looking at art is an entirely new experience?

In this authoritative new book - 330 pages, 19 chapters and 91 colour illustrations - experienced museum professionals share some of today’s most successful initiatives in art interpretation. Through thought-provoking essays and illustrated case studies, the work of leading international museums in interpreting both contemporary and classical art is explored, including the Art Institute of Chicago, Cleveland Museum of Art, Courtauld Institute of Art, J Paul Getty Museum, MoMA, Van Gogh Museum, and Yale University Art Gallery.
