The Power of Touch : Handling Objects in Museum and Heritage Context Paperback / softback
Edited by Elizabeth Pye
Part of the UCL Institute of Archaeology Publications series
Paperback / softback
Description
Despite the fact that we have a range of senses with which to perceive the world around us, museums and other cultural institutions have traditionally used sight as the main way to convey information.
In everyday life, though, we use touch constantly in conjunction with sight.
Why, then, does it play so small a role in the study and enjoyment of museum objects?
Contributors to this volume explore how the sense of touch can be utilized in cultural institutions to facilitate understanding and learning.
