    Engaging Communities Through Civic Engagement in Art Museum Education
    ( 2024-02-16) Bryna Bobick
    As art museum educators become more involved in curatorial decisions and creating opportunities for community voices to be represented in the galleries of the museum, museum education is shifting from responding to works of art to developing authentic opportunities for engagement with their communities. Current research focuses on museum education experiences and the wide-reaching benefits of including these experiences into art education courses. As more universities add art museum education to their curricula, there is a need for a text to support the topic and offer examples of real-world museum education experiences. Engaging Communities Through Civic Engagement in Art Museum Education deepens knowledge on museum and art education and civic engagement and bridges the gap from theory to practice. The chapters focus on various sectors of this research, including diversity and inclusion in museum experiences, engaging communities through new techniques, and museum and university partnerships. As such, it includes coverage on timely topics that include programs and audience engagement with the LGBTQ+, refugee, disability, and senior communities; socially responsive museum pedagogy; and the use of student workers. This book is ideal for museum educators, museum directors, curators, professionals, practitioners, researchers, academicians, and students who are interested in updated knowledge and research in art education, curriculum development, and civic engagement.

    Graphic Design In Museum Exhibitions
    (Routledge Taylor & Francis Group London And Newyork, 2022-02-02) Jona Piehl
    Graphic Design in Museum Exhibitions offers an in-depth analysis of the multiple roles that exhibition graphics perform in contemporary museums and exhibitions. Drawing on a study of exhibitions that took place at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, the Museum of London and the Haus der Geschichte, Bonn, Piehl brings together approaches from museum studies, design practice and narrative theory to examine museum exhibitions as multimodal narratives in which graphics account for one set of narrative resources. The analysis underlines the importance of aspects such as accessibility and at the same time problematises conceptualisations that focus only on the effectiveness of graphics as display device, by drawing attention to the contributions that graphics make towards the content on display and to the ways in which it is experienced in the museum space.

    Human Rights Museums : Critical Tensions Between Memory and Justice
    (Routledge, Taylor & Francis Group, 2023-06-07) Jennifer Carter ; Jenifer Orange ; Chia-Li Chen ; María Juliana Angarita
    Human Rights Museums presents case studies that trace how calls for historical and social justice, and the commensurate rise of a rights regime have led to the emergence of a new museological genre: the human rights museum. Presenting innovative field research conducted in new and emerging human rights museums across Asia and Latin America, the book adopts a broad museological approach. It does so by including national and community museums, as well as public and private museological initiatives, within its purview. Drawing on in-depth case studies about museums in Taiwan, Japan, Paraguay and Colombia - all discussed within their political and cultural contexts - the book examines the paradigmatic shift that has occurred within the museum field in the wake of the larger global transformations that have shaped contemporary geopolitics over the last 50 years. The diversity of geographical and political contexts, and the attention to lesser-known institutions within the canon of English museum studies literature, presents readers with a valuable opportunity to learn more about innovative museological models in non-English-speaking and non-Western contexts. Human Rights Museums will appeal to academics, scholars and students of museum studies and related disciplines, and to museum professionals seeking to know more about the diverse and evolving roles of museums in contemporary society

    Museum of fine arts, Lausanne
    (Rizzoli, 2024-07-12) Jodidio, Philip.
    Lausanne is an unexpected city, perched on a steep hillside overlooking Lac Leman (Lake Geneva). Archeologists have found traces of hearths and carved flint near the lake at Vidy that are 8,000 years old. More than 200 graves found near the lake date from between 4300 and 3300 BC, attesting to the presence of villages nearby. The same area, near Vidy, was later the location of a Roman military camp. Called Lousonna, it was built on the site of a Celtic Helvetian settlement, after the victory of Julius Caesar at Bibracte (58 BC). The Romans remained in the area until the beginning of the fifth century AD when western Switzerland came under Burgundian influence. The dominance of the Germanic Allamani tribes to the east explains the linguistic division of the country that still exists today. Not long after the eclipse of the Romans, the town became an episcopate at the end of the sixth century, presided over as of 1011 by a prince-bishop of the Holy Roman Empire supported by the kings of Burgundy. By the thirteenth century, Lausanne had approximately 9,000 inhabitants. The largest Gothic cathedral in Switzerland was consecrated there on October 20, 1275, by Pope Gregory X in the presence of Emperor Rudolf of Habsburg and remains today in slightly altered form in its original location. The Protestant Reformation in Switzerland began to take hold in Zurich under the leadership of Huldrych Zwingli in the 1520s, with Bern following in 1528. Bern, which signed alliances with Lausanne (1525) and Geneva (1526), embarked on an expansionist policy that led them to occupy Vaud in 1536, imposing Protestantism as the local religion and making the Cathedral Protestant. In the same year the forces of the Reformation and the Bernese army stripped the Cathedral of most of its decoration, including altars, statues, and paintings. Certain elements, such as the magnificent rose window (1231-35) and the so-called Painted Portal restored in 2014, both on the south side of the edifice, retain something of the splendor of the original building. The conversion of Lausanne and its Cathedral to Protestantism is more than a matter of historical detail. The austerity imposed by the Bernese and the continuing Protestantism of the Canton are an important element in understanding contemporary choices and the appearance of architecture in the city. After 1536, Catholic authorities were made to flee, and it was in 1613 that Fribourg became the seat of the bishop of Lausanne. Fribourg is still the seat of the Diocese of Lausanne, Geneva, and Fribourg, underlining the lasting conversion to Protestantism of Lausanne. Subsequent to the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes (1685), Lausanne and Geneva were places of refuge for the French Huguenots, and a seminary created by Antoine Court and Benjamin Du Plan in 1729 was active until 1808. In the context of revolt against the long domination of Bern, Lausanne became the capital of the Canton du Leman also known as the Pays de Vaud in 1798, as part of the Republique Helvetique created by Napoleon Bonaparte. Vaud became part of the Swiss Confederation on April 14, 1803. Particularly since the eighteenth century, Lausanne has been a place of predilection for a number of important cultural figures. Jean-Jacques Rousseau lived in the city from July to November 1730, while Voltaire sojourned at Montriond and Grand-Chene between 1755 and 1759. Edward Gibbon, author of The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, completed his opus in Lausanne between 1783 and 1787. Percy Bysshe Shelley and George Gordon, Lord Byron came to Lausanne during a tour of the lake in June 1816, and Byron wrote the poem "The Prisoner of Chillon" at the Hotel de l’Ancre (now Hotel et Residence d'Angleterre) in Ouchy, on June 28. The Cathedral was the reason for the presence in Lausanne of Eugene Viollet-le-Duc, who was commissioned by the Conseil d'Etat Vaudois to restore the edifice in 1873. Still working on the project, he died in Lausanne in 1879.

    Museum Theory
    (Wiley Blackwell, 2020) Andrea Witcomb ; Kylie Message
    Museum Theory offers critical perspectives drawn from a broad range of disciplinary and intellectual traditions. This volume describes and challenges previous ways of understanding museums and their relationship to society. Essays written by scholars from museology and other disciplines address theoretical reflexivity in the museum, exploring the contextual, theoretical, and pragmatic ways museums work, are understood, and are experienced. Organized around three themes--Thinking about Museums, Disciplines and Politics, and Theory from Practice/Practicing Theory--the text includes discussion and analysis of different kinds of museums from various, primarily contemporary, national and local contexts. Essays consider subjects including the nature of museums as institutions and their role in the public sphere, cutting-edge museum practice and their connections with current global concerns, and the links between museum studies and disciplines such as cultural studies, anthropology, and history.

    Of whales and dinosaurs
    (Singapore: NUS press, 2016, 2024-05-18) Kevin Y.L. Tan
    Officially established in 1878, the natural history collection originally housed at the Raffles Museum now has more than 560,000 specimens in its care, one of the largest collections of Southeast Asian plants and animals. Dedicated to scientific research and education, the museum was reincarnated as the Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum in 2015, closing the loop on its remarkable 127-year history. But beneath the sleek exterior of the museum's new, modern building lies a saga of struggle and change. That the collections survived at all through the multiple challenges of the nineteenth century, the disruption of World War Two, and its potential disintegration in the face of Singapore's modernization is nothing short of miraculous. This book is not only an institutional history of the museum but also recounts the frustrations, tenacity, and courage of the numerous individuals who battled officialdom, innovated endlessly, and overcame the odds to protect Singapore's natural history heritage.

    Te Papa To Berlin
    (Otago University Press, 2022-02-02) Ken Gorbey
    WHEN, IN 1997, I accepted the German government's invitation to become the chief executive of a planned Jewish museum in Berlin, I had only a hazy idea of what awaited me. I understood that the project was deeply enmeshed in national politics, and for that I came with a certain amount of experience from my days in Washington. I had also just written a book on German-Jewish history. However, I was not fitted for the task of defining a viable concept and actually translating it into the creation of a living museum suitable for viewing by a broad national and international audience. From the beginning, therefore, I was aware of the critical need to find a partner who would help guide the effort, someone with real museum experience and a proven record of accomplishment in the field. Finding the right one would be the key to the success or failure of the entire project.
