The Personalization of the Museum Visit book cover

The Personalization of the Museum Visit

Art Museums, Discourse, and Visitors (Routledge Research in Museum Studies)

Seph Rodney

This thought-provoking book explores the modern museum experience, where visitors are treated as self-directed "clients" with the agency to create personalized meaning for themselves. Through extensive research at Britain's Tate Modern, the author investigates the factors that have led to this shift in museum behavior. This includes the onset of a new museology, an experience economy, and a marketing revolution. However, the author also identifies structural impediments that hamper this experience, such as institutional division of labor and outdated conceptions of the museum's mission. This book is a must-read for students and scholars interested in visitor engagement, curatorial practice, and museum management.
