International Perspectives on Museum Interpretation

July 21, 2020 @ 9:00 am - 10:15 am

Moving beyond traditional gallery texts, this webinar addresses new interpretive methods with close attention to the roles that language and technology play. Speakers from institutions in Asia, Europe and the US will outline the multi-sensory strategies their own exhibition teams have used to enhance installations, activate works of art, and facilitate deeper connections for visitors. The panel will also explore the broader challenges and opportunities inherent in interpreting for diverse, international audiences.
