Este libro reúne unha colección interdisciplinaria de ensaios que examinan os tipos de experiencias e interaccións humanas que converteron o museo outrora estéril nun espazo de animación e enriquecemento, así como benestar físico e emocional. Os ensaios céntranse por primeira vez nas experiencias singularmente humanas e humanizadoras que se atopan nas coleccións, programas, exposicións e espazos dos museos de hoxe
