ABSTRACT
Understanding exhibitions as narratives, as unfolded in this book, means understanding curators as storytellers. The outlook points to possible solutions to the dilemmas that can arise from such an understanding. This is important if the screenwriting techniques are to really achieve the desired effects. This is, first, the conflict between rational scientist and emotional storyteller and, second, the conflict of engaging visitors in the stories without compromising their critical judgement. Acknowledging these dilemmas opens perspectives of how suspense can become seminal for inclusive museum activities.
