Abstract:

By the late nineteenth century, as a consequence of the costly, far-flung, labor-intensive, and specimen-centered nature of the discipline, American vertebrate paleontology had become centralized at large collections maintained by a few universities and major natural history museums. Foremost among the latter group were the Academy of Natural Sciences, Philadelphia; the American Museum of Natural History, New York; the National Museum of Natural History, Washington, DC; the Carnegie Museum, Pittsburgh; and the Field Columbian Museum, Chicago.

According to the author, the museum includes directing and design necessary for communication with the mass audience. In this aspect, the article analyzes the exposition principles of two museums

Abstract:

The natural collection (n = 280 specimens) of the mole (Talpa europaea L., 1758) from the collections of the State Natural History Museum of the NAS of Ukraine was studied. The main material was collected in May-August by 23 collectors during the period 1868-1998. Morphometry of 86% of mole specimens was carried out, 52% of the individuals were weighed before preparation, the sex was set at 81% of individuals, and the age – 73%. Natural mole from the museum's funds are extracted or found in Bulgaria (1 gathering place) and six regions of West of Ukraine (30 collection sites). The ratio of the

Abstract:

One of the major issues confronting U. S. courts in international cultural property cases is the significance of foreign export restriction violations. This is a particularly sensitive issue for museums in art purchasing nations since aggressive support of the view that export restriction violation is theft could result in the return of much of a museum's collection. In fact, Thomas Hoving, past director of New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art stated, “almost every antiquity that has arrived in America in the past ten to twenty years has broken the laws of the country from which it came.”

AbstractThe Odessa Museum of Archaeology was founded in 1825 by local antiquarians. The museum's collection grew in part due to excavations of classical sites in the region, in part due to gifts and purchases from dealers in classical antiquities. Up to the Second World War the focus of the Museum's activities was classical archaeology. In the post-war period this expanded to include the whole of the ancient history of the region from the Stone Age to the Middle Ages. The museum now houses one of the best collections of Classical Antiquities in the former Soviet Union and the third-ranking Egy

Abstract:

The Typical visitor thinks of a natural history museum as a place to go to view interesting displays. They expect to come away from the experience with increased knowledge and appreciation of the educational message of each exhibit. However, few visitors are aware that a natural history museum is much more than exhibits. Typically, such a museum has less than five percent of its specimens on display. What function does the other ninety-five percent serve? How are specimens obtained? What happens to specimens once they are included in a museum's permanent collections? These are questions which

Abstract:

Sir Charles Giesecke (1761-1833) was a mineral collector and dealer before becoming Professor of Mineralogy at the Royal Dublin Society in 1813. After his appointment he continued to deal in minerals and he supplied collections to museums in Europe, to Trinity College, Dublin and -- it seems -- to his students. One such student collection was recently discovered in the Ulster Museum, where it had been stored unrecorded for nearly a century. It was recognised by linking numbered specimen labels to an original lecture syllabus in the museum's archives. The history of the collection was establish

In order to increase the efficiency of science education, it is most important to focus on elementary education based on basic science. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the main causes of Korea's science museum's regression as a museum focusing on experience, interest, and fun such as simple science experience centers and science theme parks.

This study explores the role of museum settings in enhancing visitor engagement and interest at local museums situated near cultural heritage sites. Previous research has shown a lack of studies focusing on the impact of museum settings in such locations, especially compared to renowned sites like Borobudur and Angkor Wat. Initial investigations of four local museums at heritage sites revealed that the surrounding historical sites failed to effectively leverage the museum's potential.

One solution to enhance the appeal of museums is through the Service Learning Program, which integrates academic learning with community service.

Given the critical importance of the global museum decolonisation work of which the exhibition is an example, a fresh consideration of this ethnographic collection's history is timely.
