</P> <p><b>MUSEUM MEDIA</b></br> Edited by Michelle Henning <p><i>Museum Media</i> explores the contemporary uses of diverse media in museum contexts and discusses how technology is reinventing the museum. It considers how technological changes—from photography and television through to digital mobile media—have given rise to new habits, forms of attention and behaviors. It explores how research methods can be used to understand people's relationships with media technologies and display techniques in museum contexts, as well as the new opportunities media offer for museums to engage with their visitors. <p>Entries written by leading experts examine the transformation of history and memory by new media, the ways in which exhibitions mediate visitor experience, how designers and curators can establish new kinds of relationships with visitors, the expansion of the museum beyond its walls and its insertion into a wider commercial and corporate landscape. Focusing on formal, theoretical and technical aspects of exhibition practice, this in-depth volume explores questions of temporality, attachment to objects, atmospheric and immersive exhibition design, the reinvention of the exhibition medium, and much more. <p><b>THE INTERNATIONAL HANDBOOKS OF MUSEUM STUDIES</b></br> General Editors: Sharon Macdonald and Helen Rees Leahy <p><i>The International Handbooks of Museum Studies</i> is a multi-volume reference work that represents a state-of-the-art survey of the burgeoning field of museum studies. Featuring original essays by leading international museum experts and emerging scholars, readings cover all aspects of museum theory, practice, debates, and the impact of technologies. The four volumes in the series, divided thematically, offer in-depth treatment of all major issues relating to museum theory; historical and contemporary museum practice; mediations in art, design, and architecture; and the transformations and challenges confronting the museum. In addition to invaluable surveys of current scholarship, the entries include a rich and diverse panoply of examples and original case studies to illuminate the various perspectives. Unprecedented for its in-depth topic coverage and breadth of scholarship, the multi-volume <i>International Handbooks of Museum Studies</i> is an indispensable resource for the study of the development, roles, and significance of museums in contemporary society. <p><b>SHARON MACDONALD</b> is Professor of Social Anthropology in the Institute of European Ethnology, Humboldt-Üniversität zu Berlin, where she also directs the CARMAH, the Centre for Anthropological Research on Museums and Heritage. <p><b>HELEN REES LEAHY</b> is Professor Emerita of the University of Manchester, where she was Director of the Centre for Museology from 2002–2017. <p>Online edition available at museumstudieshandbooks.com <P>
