ABSTRACT

Earlier sections of this book have described a theoretical framework for the design of educational exhibits and the organisation of the design team and its work. We now move on in Chapters 7, 8 and 9 to consider practical aspects of exhibition design. These involve a discussion of media (the vehicles of communication) and modes (the ways in which media are used) in Chapter 9, but we note here that decisions about media and modes determine the sort of stimuli that are presented to visitors.
