Rethinking the museum entrance

Edited by Ross Parry, this collection treats the museum entrance as more than a point of passage, examining how threshold spaces shape the visitor experience and raise questions for design. Its chapters are arranged in three sections: thresholds as problem spaces, their relationship to different media, and perspectives drawn from fields including performance, gaming, retail, and discourse studies. The structure gives the subject both an architectural grounding and a cross-disciplinary frame, connecting the practical question of arrival with broader ways of understanding how museums welcome and orient visitors.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in museum architecture and visitor experience.
  • Museum designers and professionals exploring approaches to entrance spaces.
  • Readers curious about how performance, gaming, retail, and discourse studies relate to museum design.

Book overview

Museum Thresholds is a progressively interdisciplinary volume, in which a range of international experts explore the importance and potential of entrance spaces for visitor experience. The chapters, in the three themed sections, explore a range of museum thresholds: first as a problem space; then through different media; and finally from the perspective of other subjects and professions (performance, gaming, retail and discourse studies) each of which have much to bring to future thinking and design.
