Miles, Roger; Tout, Alan
International Journal of Science Education, v13 n5 spec iss p543-50 1991
Describes visitor-oriented exhibits at the Natural History Museum that utilize precise principles of communication for educative purpose. These exhibits are designed on the basis of detailed knowledge of the audience, extending attention to the entire gallery as an experience rather than providing notice to individual exhibits, while taking affective as well as cognitive objectives into account.
