Writing in a museum setting poses a unique challenge since museum artifacts can be a difficult subject matter. The writing must be factual, but many artifacts have a limited known history. The writing must also be consise, yet compelling, attracting the reader to further exploration and learning. During this session Andrea Reichert will discuss writing for exhibits, for publication and about museum artifacts in general.
