We never seem to be completely happy with labels in museums, and we have all complained about them. These devices, though they may seem like minute details, are as crucial as they are debated. They influence the exhibition design, they affect the visitor experience. But what do they need to be like to make their mark? When do they intervene and to whom do they speak? Are there rules in crafting them? Contributions from a range of international curators explore these questions and more, including Paola Antonelli, Ludovico Einaudi, Shirin Neshat, Massimo Recalcati, Andrée Ruth Shammah, and Bill Sherman.
