Samenvatting
In the last decade museums have added big business and popular entertainment to their traditional role of patient scholarship.

Museum Graphics contains fifty-nine projects from ten countries, carefully selected by Margo Rouard-Snowman, the eminent curator and graphic artist, to represent the most outstanding achievements of the past decade. They are drawn from diverse institutions: the Design Museum, London; the Louvre, Paris; the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam; ARTEC, Nagoya; the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles. All aspects are covered: the creation and application of logos; exterior and interior sign systems; posters and banners; stationery, brochures, leaflets, promotional material and merchandise. The result is an exciting anthology of eye-catching images, from the austerely classical to the fiercely contemporary. A full introduction details topics such as the growing numbers of museums; the mushrooming audience for museums and exhibitions; user-friendly techniques of presentation; the history of graphics; and the stages in creating a visual identity. Valuable information sections, including designers' biographies and addresses, complete the book.
