The Manual of Travelling Exhibitions published by UNESCO in 1953 is a handbook on organizing touring exhibitions. Aimed at museums and other public institutions, it formulates a “grammar” of how to exhibit, ranging from organizational questions to reflections on exhibition design. From today’s perspective the manual reads like the manifesto of a modernity whose continuity was still unbroken in the immediate post-war period. This extensively annotated reprint of The Manual of Travelling Exhibitions is intended, on the one hand, to contextualize and critically examine the historical source and, on the other, to show different ways of updating it.
