"Curatorial Dreams: Critics Imagine Exhibitions engages museological theory and practice in an innovative and creative manner by asking scholars to propose and conceptualize exhibitions inspired by their critical concerns and substantive research. The 14 authors in Curatorial Dreams share a commitment to translating critical academic theory about society, culture, and history into broadly accessible imagined exhibitions, offering concrete, imaginative projects designed for particular museums and other sites of display which distill their concerns materially for non-specialist visitors. In doing so, the volume addresses the tensions and conflicts existing between academic museum studies and practical public museology. Museum criticism is rarely constructive: its driving concern is to find fault with exhibitions. Such critiques often threaten and alienate practitioners, who must negotiate historical legacies as well as practical and political constraints, even as they work to innovate. While the deconstructive critique of museums remains relevant, Curatorial Dreams builds upon the sense of optimism expressed by many museum professionals regarding museums' potential to contribute to an inclusive and enriching public shere."-- "The volume explores the value of curatorial dreaming as an intellectual exercise in humanities and social science scholarship, presents this way of translating theory into practice as a form of public scholarship, and shows how exhibitions can be a method for conducting reflexive, participatory research and crowd-sourced exhibition criticism."--

We are in the middle of a museum paradigm shift and a new type of museum volunteer is emerging from the community. Non-profit volunteers are looking for unique and satisfying ways to engage in their communities and museums are primed to offer just the experiences these volunteers are looking for. Here's a practical exploration of the differences between the "then" and "now" volunteers and solid advice on volunteer recruitment, communication, and retention strategies. Written in a light hearted spirit, Recruiting and Managing Volunteers in Museums: A Handbook to Volunteer Management will engage

Au cœur du Poitou, le site de Vouneuil-sous-Biard (Vienne) s’inscrit dans un contexte riche en vestiges archéologiques depuis la haute Antiquité. Situé dans un méandre de la rivière Boivre, aux abords sud-ouest de la cité épiscopale de Poitiers, il fait partie d’un dense réseau de sanctuaires chrétiens établi entre le ive et le viie siècles. Avec près de 2 500 fragments de stucs mis au jour entre 1984 et 1986, l’ensemble de Vouneuil-sous-Biard se place – par la quantité recueillie – bien au-delà des lots découverts jusqu’à présent à Bordeaux ou Saint-Denis, qui ne dépassaient pas deux ou trois cents unités. Les comparaisons opérées avec les rares stucs déjà découverts en France et à l’étranger, conduisent vers les sources italiennes de l’Antiquité tardive et notamment Ravenne. Afin de cerner la spécificité du corpus de Vouneuil, chaque élément de stuc a été étudié comme un objet archéologique susceptible de livrer des informations sur sa réalisation et sa place dans un décor complet. Grâce aux relevés dessinés, ont été pris en compte les différents états de réalisation non seulement du matériau stuc lui-même mais aussi des couches picturales et des badigeons. De même que l’étude des traces d’accrochage au dos des stucs, des éléments de fixation, des bordures des pièces, ont été autant d’indices pour comprendre les techniques et les modes de mise en œuvre dans l’espace. C’est à partir de ces indications et du travail en relation avec l’iconographie qu’ont pu être compris progressivement la position des pièces essentielles afin de restituer ce puzzle monumental dispersé. Il est apparu ainsi des jeux d’arcatures monumentales avec personnages et plusieurs registres de décor. Situé entre Loire et Gironde, Vouneuil-sous-Biard n’a pas dû échapper, au ve siècle, à un contexte politique marqué, entre autres, par l’opposition de familles sénatoriales et d’évêques face à l’arianisme wisigoth. Après la victoire des Francs à Vouillé en 507, il apparaissait peut-être utile de…

South Sudan became independent in 2011 after decades of rebel wars with the Government of Sudan. Independence prompted discussions about South Sudanese identity and shared history, in which material objects and cultural heritage featured as vitally important resources. However, the long-term effects of colonialism and conflict had largely precluded any concerted attempts to preserve material culture within the country; museums remained in Khartoum, the capital of the formally united Sudan. Furthermore, tens of thousands of objects had been removed from what is now South Sudan during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries to museum and private collections around the world. Up to now there have been few attempts to reconnect the history of these South Sudanese museum collections with people in or from South Sudan. Pieces of a Nation is the first extended study of South Sudanese material cultural heritage in museum collections and beyond. The chapters discuss a range of different objects and practices - from museum objects taken from South Sudan in the context of enslavement and colonialism in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries to efforts by South Sudanese to preserve their country's cultural heritage during recent conflicts. With essays by 32 contributors in Europe, South Sudan, Uganda and Australia, this book delivers a unique range of perspectives on museum objects from South Sudan and on heritage practices in the country and among its diaspora. Written by curators, academics, heritage professionals and artists in accessible and engaging style, it is intended for scholars, museum professionals and a wide range of individuals interested in South Sudan, African arts and cultures, the history of museum collecting and colonialism and/or the role of material heritage in peacebuilding and refugee contexts. At a time of widespread, prominent debates over the provenance of museum collections from Africa and calls for restitution, this book provides an in-depth empirical study of the circumstances and practices that led to South Sudanese objects entering foreign museum collections and the importance of these objects in South Sudan and around the world today.

Der Bautypus "Museum" und der architektonische Raum führen eine komplizierte Beziehung. Einerseits konkurriert die Architektur mit den Ausstellungsobjekten um die Aufmerksamkeit der Besucher, andererseits nimmt sich die Architektur zurück, um dem Museum seine inhaltliche Entfaltung zu ermöglichen. Zwischen diesen beiden Polen setzt dieses Handbuch an. Es richtet sich an den Entwerfer und zugleich an den Nutzer. Die Publikation hat den Anspruch, als Kommunikationsmittel im Planungsprozess eines Museums zu dienen: während der Konzeption, des Wettbewerbs sowie der Entwurfs- und Bauphase. Neben einer Einleitung zur Architekturgeschichte des Museums befassen sich die Autoren mit den wesentlichen Planungsparameter zu Entwurf und Gestaltung eines zeitgenössischen Museums. Bauten und Projekte bieten Inspirationen für die eigene Entwurfsarbeit. The museum as a building type and architectural space bear a complex relationship to each other. Architecture competes with the exhibited objects on the one hand and gives way to them on the other, enabling the museum to develop as regards content. This manual guide has its point of departure between both poles and targets both designers and users. The aim of the publication is to facilitate communication in the planning process of a museum, whether this is during the conceptual stage, the competition, or the design and construction phase. In addition to an introduction on the architectural history of the museum, the authors examine the key planning parameters involved in the conception and design of a contemporary museum. Buildings and projects provide inspiration for individual design work.

Between the 1870s and the 1930s competing European powers carved out and consolidated colonies in Melanesia, the most culturally diverse region of the world. As part of this process, great assemblages of ethnographic artefacts were made by a range of collectors whose diversity is captured in this volume. The contributors to this tightly-integrated volume take these collectors, and the collecting institutions, as the departure point for accounts that look back at the artefact-producing societies and their interaction with the collectors, but also forward to the fate of the collections in metropolitan museums, as the artefacts have been variously exhibited, neglected, re-conceived as indigenous heritage, or repatriated. In doing this, the contributors raise issues of current interest in anthropology, Pacific history, art history, museology, and material culture.
