Book Synopsis

In today's busy world, museums compete for visitors not only with other museums, but also with a worthy selection of cultural institutions from performing arts to libraries. Branding a museum helps it stand out from the crowd by giving it an image and personality with which visitors and supporters can identify. In Museum Branding, Wallace offers clear, practical advice on how to brand a museum department by department, step by step.
