i'm writting a short museum studies essay on some of the challenges Aircraft museums face.

Does anyone know of any articles or books that deal with museum studies relating to aircraft museums?
for example aircraft on display (inside/outside), interpretation panels, audience responses to artifacts, dealing with displaying wreckage/ aircrew personal items etc.

Has anyone written reviews on museums like Duxford, Hendon and Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre etc?

Finding it difficult to find anything.

Mr Twin Otter (Howard Healy) of Newark Air Museum should be worth asking. His details are in the Winthorpe thread.

Now out of print and at one time remaindered very cheaply but you should still be able to pick up a copy through a book dealer . Worth a read !
