What are “streakers, strollers and studiers”? How can we plan better projects using the “attract, reveal, reward” system? What’s a “wunderkammer”? What can we expect in the upcoming “Exhibition and Experience Design Handbook”? 

Professor, designer, and museum director Tim McNeil (UC Davis) joins host Jonathan Alger (C&G Partners) to preview his upcoming book, “Exhibition and Experience Design Handbook”. The eBook is available this month (April), and the hardback version is coming in May — and available for pre-order NOW.

It’s not every day that a new book on exhibition and experience projects comes out. We’ll be among the first to get a sneak peek. (And a quick education in exhibition and experience design along the way.)
