Exhibition journal

If you or your museum produces exhibitions, you’ll want to know about Exhibition, the peer-reviewed journal of exhibition theory and practice published by AAM with the leadership of Managing Editor Ian Kerrigan and Editor Jeanne Normand Goswami.

Each issue is packed with insights on the latest developments in museum exhibition practice and award-winning designs.

Published twice a year, Exhibition offers 128 pages of thought-provoking articles, exhibition critiques, and commentary, technical articles, and essays. Each issue is organized around a theme, such as the power of words, exhibitions and universal design, innovation and community relevance, and new media in exhibitions.

Exhibition Journal Becomes a Member Benefit in 2025!

In 2025, Exhibition, AAM’s bi-annual peer-reviewed journal of exhibition theory and practice will go fully digital and become a benefit of AAM membership. The spring 2025 issue of the journal will be the first to debut as a digital issue, with all articles available to AAM members, dramatically increasing access to the content of the publication.

With this transition, the journal’s reach will grow from 1,000 subscribers to nearly 70,000 people who can access the publication through their individual or institutional AAM membership. This change increases visibility for the authors and editors whose hard work and thought leadership make the journal possible. We look forward to the many conversations, questions, and ideas that will be sparked by broadening access to the journal’s content.
