Here and Now Contemporary Science and Technology in Museums and Science Centres : Proceedings of a Conference Held at the Science Museum, London, 21-23 November 1996

This book explores questions central to the thinking of every museum and science centre attempting to meet such challenges: What are the implications of the information technology revolution? How can objects be more effectively displayed? And what are the key issues involved in developing exhibitions and events that address contemporary material?
