In the manifestation of our display, we used diverse medium to convey the message, which was the story we would like to express to the audience. Next, I will list out each approach we applied in the exhibition.

2. Text board
3. Old photographs of triangular model
4. Poster
5. Situational layout

The relationship of the displayed material, audience, communication and educational impact plays an important role of exhibition and elements of this network are all connected to each other. The performance of display can be affected by the manners how we as curators encoding exhibited medium, while the decoding process of individuals from diverse background can be differed owing to this factor at the same time. Hence, the variety of leaning outcomes will be produced. This is the reason why our group members endeavor to supply as many options as possible for participants that they are able to obtain the message through preferable channels. As a result, the knowledge can be effectively transferred and people can acquire the joyful visiting experience. Only if we meet the expectation mentioned previously that the display can be referred to a successful project design and therefore we could say we have created a positive conversation forum between curators/transmitters and visitors/ receivers through multiple media.

  • The Museum Effect Analysis

    849 Words  | 2 Pages

    The Museum Effect turns things of lesser value or artistic appeal to the source culture than was originally intended and gives them a perhaps inflated level of importance as art in our estimation. It is described in the article as a way of seeing, or lens through which something is viewed (ex: art historically, culturally, socially, etc.). Alpers describes TME as such because nearly all items in museums were meant to be seen or used in some other manner and thus much of the original context has been removed and cannot be recreated. The inflation of importance of objects derived from the lack of contextual information and the museum’s tendency to present all things aesthetically are the driving forces causing TME. Alpers suggests that by acknowledging that TME exists, the museum community and visitors can help negate its harmful

    There are two books The pursuit of Quality: The Kimbell Art Museum written by Harry Abrams, and The 1939 Building of the Museum of Modern Art: The Goodwin-Stone Collaboration, written by Dominic Ricciotti. These two books investigate the change in architectural feats, and the layouts in which architects like Louis I. Kahn and Goodwin and Stone used in the changing times in which they lived. These two books and the chapters within them, showcase the change in the architecture and layouts of museum buildings. Yet, these books also show the change in museum models worldwide to alter the way individuals look at architecture and artwork. Both books speak of the ever changing museum models which took places from the early 1930s until the 1960s.

    As the tour of the museum began, it was easily noticed that all of the objects on display were placed behind thick glass cases. Many plaques inside of the case provide the visitor with information about the specific case that is being looked at. In most cases the plaques didn’t so much provide an elaboration on the pieces, but rather expand upon the historical context of the pieces. Also, the plaques shed light onto muc...

  • Comparison Of Cultural Imperialism In Art Museums And The Ritual Of Citizenship?

    Duncan’s (1991) analysis of western museums is defined through the theme of “durable objects” as a criterion to judge the heritage of American and European art as a ritual of the modern state. In this manner western art museums are built like “temples” as a symbolic and figurative representation of greatness of western culture throughout the world: “[They] are more like the traditional ceremonial monuments that museum buildings often emulate—classical temples” (Duncan 90). This interpretation of American/European museums defines a dominant source of cultural heritage that ritualizes

  • Eyewitness Identification and Reliable Testimony

    2504 Words  | 6 Pages

    Human memory is flexible and prone to suggestion. “Human memory, while remarkable in many ways, does not operate like a video camera” (Walker, 2013). In fact, human memory is quite the opposite of a video camera; it can be greatly influenced and even often distorted by interactions with its surroundings (Walker, 2013). Memory is separated into three different phases. The first phase is acquisition, which is when information is first entered into memory or the perception of an event (Samaha, 2011). The next phase is retention. Retention is the process of storing information during the period of time between the event and the recollection of a piece of information from that event (Samaha, 2011). The last stage is retrieval. Retrieval is recalling stored information about an event with the purpose of making an identification of a person in that event (Samaha, 2011).

    Items displayed in museums hold historical significance and are representative of society’s culture. Preserving valuable collections for education and enjoyment is a primary role of museums. While fulfilling this role, the architecture of the museum is also an important factor. Historical buildings are converted into museums and architects must consider the use of the space and the museum’s purpose during their initial design. Other museums are built with a clear purpose in mind. As museums are designed, many characteristics are determined. Display and storage spaces as well as visitor services impacts museum’s functionality. Based on the function of a museum, architectural requirements are different.

  • Identity, Representation and Learning in Museums

    1104 Words  | 3 Pages

    Individuals do not learn in a void; instead they build upon the knowledge and experience that they have developed over their lives. They use their identities to shape how they learn and view the world and themselves. If the identity of the learner is not accepted and allowed to influence learning, the desired outcomes may not be accomplished. The cultivation of identities is especially important in museums and other cultural institutions and they must adapt their techniques to accomplish this. These issues of identity and learning are complex so this paper will focus on issues of representation in regard to ethnicity and gender. Furthermore, solutions to proper exhibition display and facilitation will be theorized through the lens of critical
