Abstract:
“Deer” stones are important sources for the study of the cultures of the Arzhan-Mayemer time. There are few of them found in Altai, and they have their own specific features due to a number of circumstances. To date, there is no work that summarizes the available information about the ancient statues, which are found on the monuments and in museums. This article provides information about seven “deer” stones, which are stored and exhibited in the National Museum of the Altai Republic named after A.A. Anokhin (Russia). They come from different places and reflect the traditions formed in ancient times and recorded in the funeral-memorial complexes of the Biyke culture. Further study of these sculptures with the help of modern digital technology will allow to obtain detailed reflections of the available images.

Abstract:
AbstractThe existence of culture and history in the museum as a place to store a collection of historical objects often gives the impression that the museum is an ancient, dark and unkempt building. Meanwhile, the new paradigm in museum management is that museums are no longer just a place to store historical objects, but need to present collections in attractive packaging so that visitors are interested in coming back to the museum. This research method is a qualitative method with interview data collection techniques, observation and documentation studies. Data analysis techniques include data collection, data presentation, data reduction and data verification. The results of this study are (1) the cultural and historical values of the ulen sentalu museum in attaching existing philosophical values, (2) cultural and historical values related to the rules of conduct in the museu ulen sentalu used as a source of social studies learning. Thus, it can be used as culture and history contained in the Ulen Sentalu museum and used as a source of social studies learning as part of educational literacy.Keywords : Ulen Sentalu Museum, Culture and History, Social Studies Learning Resource

Abstract:
The topic of this study is a realistic due to the fact that in Chinese history, the Tang Dynasty (618–907) is considered as the peak of national strength. It is during this period that ancient China became the center of economic and cultural exchanges with a number of states in the medieval world. Thanks to stable social development and the steadily developing economy, Chinese art of this period flourished. To this day, it has a special meaning for both Chinese and Asian cultures. The article examines the presentational forms of the art of Tang Dynasty in historical and art museums of the People’s Republic of China at the beginning of the 21st century: an overview of the history of Tang Dynasty and its art is presented, the collections of museum objects — works of fine art of the Tang Dynasty in Chinese museums are considered, and specific forms of art presentation are analyzed, such as expositions, exhibitions, online exhibitions, educational programs and projects implemented in cooperation with the media. The research is based on original sources of museum origin (materials from museums’ official websites, interviews conducted with museum employees) and a body of regulatory and administrative documents covering museum policy developments in the People’s Republic of China.

Abstract:
The article is devoted to the study of the historical development of the territory of the Chernihiv-Siversky Podesennya by the researcher-archaeologist Vasily Eliseyevich Kurylenko, to the learning of his role in the development of Ukrainian archaeological science, museum affairs and his educational activities. The author analyzes the life and search path of the researcher, describes the importance of field archeological activity and museum-educational work. The study tested the significance of scientific (archeological), literary heritage and educational activities for the development of modern views on the ancient history of Ukraine. The study of the historical processes of the Desnian region for some reasons has not been sufficiently disclosed. Among them, the Mizun stand, named after the culture of the Eastern player of Sivershchyna, which is the most prominent archaeological sites, whose age reaches 20-18 millennium BC. The Mizun stand testifies the transition of people in ancient times at the turn of the Paleolithic and Mesolithic period from the caves of natural origin in handmade dwellings built from the bones and skins of mammoths. The opening of the Mizun stand nowadays equates to the opening of Troy by H. Schliemann, Trypillia culture by V. Khvoika, the Scythian Golden pectoral by B. Mazolevsky, the value of Egyptian hieroglyphs be Zh.F. Champolion. Having analyzed the formation of V.E. Kurylenko as an archaeologist-researcher focuses on the significance of his archaeological researches, scientific activity, literary-journalistic, artistic, educational, museum-heritage for the development of contemporary views on the ancient history of Ukraine, on the factors of the formation of the Ukrainian ethnic group, and the consolidation of civil society. In the article the significance of V.E.Kurylenko’ researches of the Mizun bracelets, fragments of the original products with ornament, which was deciphered by the scientist, the monthly protocalendar of the hunters and fishermen of the Neolithic Age, the protozoan instruments, etc., which do not have world analogues were noted. By deciphering the Mizun bracelets the scientist launched a new direction in archaeological science - astroarheology. The researcher has developed a scientific method of complex study of cultures of the district. V.Kurylenko looked for traces of the Mesolithic and Neolithic settlements in the district of Mizin on Podesennya during 46 years (from 1965 to 2011). He found the second Mizun Paleolithic stand "Kostomakh’ well”. V.Kurylenko discovered more than 60 archeological artefacts, found on the banks of the Desna more than twenty different cultures, in particular - previously unknown − Preyukhnov culture. V.E.Kurilenko collected more than 54,000 archaeological finds, systematized them, classified and created archaeological museums for them, among them a museum near the world-famous Mizun stand. V.Kurylenko studied the interconnection, interplay of chronological changes in the cultures of a particular region., avoid pseudo-scientific, imposed, ideologically-ordered conclusions. He created the Ukrainian concept of museum creation.

Abstract:
The Museum of Classical Archeology of the Imperial Academy of Sciences is the successor to the 18th-century Kunstkamera of the Academy of Sciences in term of collections of classical antiquities. This article discusses in detail the stages of development of the Museum of Classical Archaeology as an institution within the structure of the Academy of Sciences through the Cabinet of Medals and Rarities, Numismatic Museum, and the Museum of Classical Archaeology. The fund of the museum consisted of ancient Greek and Roman coins, ancient Russian coins, coins from oriental cultures, ancient Greek vases, antiquities from ornamental stone, glass, precious metals, impressions of medals and coins, items from archaeological excavations and treasures, manuscripts, drawings of objects and photographs. Special attention is paid to the correlation of the possibilities of museum collections of the Academy of Sciences and the Imperial Hermitage in terms of storage, exhibition, research, and promotion of archaeological collections in the second half of the 19th century. The reasons for the very active transfer of the Academy of Sciences’ archaeological collections to the Hermitage in the 19th century and the types of compensation received by the Academy for the collections are discussed. The first archaeological collections donated from the Academy of Sciences to the Hermitage on the initiative of the chairman of the Imperial Archaeological Commission S. G. Stroganov were the “Siberian collection” of Peter I and the Melgunov treasure. The collection of the Museum of Classical Archeology also attracted the attention of art critic I. V. Tsvetaev when arranging funds for the new Museum of Fine Arts at Moscow University. The article introduces into scientific circulation archival documents, showing the state of the museum work in the 19th century in the institution of the Academy of Sciences, documents depicting the structure of the Museum of Classical Archaeology, and the composition of collections.

Abstract:
Archaeological museums often came into existence from private collections of curiosities. When official museums were created in the course of the 18th and 19th centuries, the question of which cultures belonged to the ‘ancient world’ (and which not) was hotly debated, as the example of the National Museum of Antiquities in Leiden shows us. In addition, the role of an archaeological collection in society could be regarded in various ways. In the 19th century the ‘purest examples from antiquity’ were used as models for architects, artists and artisans. Nowadays antiquity seems to inspire many aspects of our culture, but much can be argued against the feeling that the classical spirit is enlightening our lives. An important role can be played by archaeological museums and their curators in a world in which the humanities are severely at risk.

Abstract:
This study examines how women are represented in exhibitions about the ancient cultures of Greece, Rome and Egypt. The two museums which have been studied are the Museum of Mediterranean and Near Eastern Antiquities in Stockholm and the British Museum in London. Observations of the exhibitions, notes and interviews with museum personnel are the methods used in this study. The theory used is gender theory, focussing on Yvonne Hirdman’s gender system. The purpose of the study is to examine how the museums are working with representing women in ancient cultures, what objects are exhibited that relates to women and how museum teachers include women in tours. The study shows that women are represented in different degrees in the exhibitions and are much less included in texts. The Museum of Mediterranean and Near Eastern Antiquities have the ambition and interest from the personnel to review their exhibits to include a broader perspective where women are better represented.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis considers how the stories preserved in Greek and Roman texts have been used in British museums from the early nineteenth century to the present. It explores the tendency to prioritise textual over visual information which is easy to overlook when dealing with object-based institutions. It demonstrates the pervasive effect that ancient texts and the narratives they convey have had on the way museums think about individual objects, wider history and their own role as public institutions. A series of case studies offer snapshots of the relationship between object and text at different times and places: how ancient texts were used to articulate a political and public role for the Elgin marbles; how public and academic interest in myth inspired innovative museum interpretation in the work of Charles Newton, Jane Harrison, Heinrich Schliemann and Arthur Evans; how collecting at the Fitzwilliam museum demonstrates the difficulties of escaping ancient narratives, even for those committed to object-based approaches; and how an exhibition of Greek Art in World War Two used ancient images and texts alongside each other in ways that idealised Greek art and freedom, while also revealing unease about the relationship between image and text in ancient sources. By looking at these through broader intellectual and social themes it develops a history with continuity as well as contrasts. Several of the case studies visit completely new ground for the history of museums, but even the most familiar moments in collecting history can be understood in new ways through an awareness of how deeply our understanding of ancient objects has been shaped by ancient narratives. I build on contemporary interest in the active role of museums in constituting our understanding of the past by treating the museum as a site of textual reception and an active participant in a tradition.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis examines different interpretations of the ancient past in a museum of archaeology. It focuses on the ways people make meanings from the remote past and how prehistoric populations can be known and understood. With the purpose of explaining the interpretation processes experienced in the museum of archaeology, this research scrutinized museum curators, exhibition designers and regular adult visitors. It was through the empathetic understanding of each of these groups' approach to the ancient past that this research could be developed. Philosophical hermeneutics provided the project with its theoretical framework; qualitative research oriented the methodology and furnished the appropriate methods to optimise understanding of the problem. The case study approach provided coherence to all the processes of interpretation involved, within the museum and about the museum, by generating meaningful data from which the research question could be answered. The case study was the San Miguel de Azapa Museum of Archaeology, located in the northernmost part of Chile, South America. This thesis contributes to museology with a corpus of theoretical approaches and methods in order to develop an understanding of the making of meaning in a museum of archaeology. It is also a contribution to museum education because understanding visitors' inner thoughts is the basis for better communication between the museum and its public.

Abstract:
This thesis uses the evidence for a wide range of phenomena relating to the exile of citizens, by judicial decision or through stasis, to investigate the political cultures of Greek poleis in the period c. 404-146 BC: the fundamental ideas about citizenship which were in circulation in poleis in that period. Political communication in the context of exile phenomena forced citizens to make explicit their fundamental assumptions about the criteria for civic inclusion and exclusion and about the extent and basis of civic obligation. Analysis of surviving evidence for that communication thus offers unique insights into prominent Greek ideas about citizenship. This method is applied, in chapters 1 and 2, to laws and discussions relating to, first, lawful expulsion and exclusion and, second, civic reconciliation and the reintegration of exiles; and, in chapters 3 and 4, to the political rhetoric, organisation and ideas of participants in exclusionary stasis and of exiled citizens. Wherever possible, ancient Greek philosophers’ arguments, rhetoric and assumptions are compared with those of non-philosophers. Study of the four different bodies of evidence suggests that most poleis’ political cultures were distinguished by their extremes, paradoxes, indeterminacies and contradictions. In particular, many poleis’ political cultures included very significant, radical norms of civic voluntarism, encouraging citizens to exercise extensive voluntary initiative in political contexts. Moreover, most poleis political cultures were dominated by two coexisting, radically opposed basic paradigms of the good polis and of good citizenship: these are defined in the introduction and chapter 1 as a ‘unitarian teleological communitarian’ paradigm and a ‘libertarian contractarian’ paradigm. In addition to revealing fundamental ideas of citizenship, some of the exile evidence enables study of the effects of those ideas in practice in this period: citizens’ political choices, claims and behaviour in relevant periods of stress, such as a bout of exclusionary stasis or a spell of political agitation while in exile, represent a well-defined and revealing case-study of the multiple, competing effects of those ideas on political interaction. It is argued that the exile evidence suggests that the same fundamental ideas of citizenship were conducive both to civic stability and flourishing and to destructive civic unrest.

Full text
Abstract:
The study of the ancient tattooed Mediterranean people from Assyria (circa 3300 BCE-2100 BCE), Egypt (circa 2000 BCE-300 BCE) Nubia (circa 2000 BCE-300 BCE), Israel (circa 1500 BCE-1200 BCE), Greece (circa 510 BCE-323 BCE), and Rome (circa 510 BCE-323 BCE) comprises the interpretivist investigation into the social-scientific and critical spatial practices of the cultures in order to establish whether or not the tattooed individuals would have been othered because of their marks. This othering is investigated in terms of the body in space, as well as the body as space. The social-scientific and critical spatial interpretation of the tattooing practices of the ancient Mediterranean cultures show that there are nine social values which are common to these cultures. These values are clothing, communicativeness, honour and shame, humility, nudity, ordering, prominence, social norms, customs, and laws (originally referred to as Torah-orientation), and wholeness. The analysis of these values as they are applied to each of the aforementioned cultures allows for the establishment of the social body as an entity within social space, as well as a spatial entity in itself. The critical spatial interpretation of the phenomenon of Thirding-as-Othering is applied in terms of how the tattooed individuals are othered within the social spaces they inhabit. Critical spatiality is further applied in order analyse the tattooed body in space, based on its social interaction within societal space, as well as to body as space which is analysed based on the individual who bears the tattoos, and the meaning, affect, and esteem that are imparted to that individual by virtue of his or her marks. This study shows that there is a distinction between honourable and shameful tattoos, and that the othering which occurs based on the honour or shame of the tattooed individual either others the marked individual in the case of shameful tattoos, or, in the case of honourable tattoos, other the unmarked individuals by refusing them access and entry into elite communities, such as those of the military. Finally, the study identifies four factors of the ancient Mediterranean tattooing process which may be compared, namely, whether or not the tattooing process is engaged in under the individual’s own volition, whether the tattooing process is only applicable to one or both sexes, whether the tattoos are honourable or shameful, and whether the tattoos are decorative, religious, military, or punitive and preventative.

Knights, Tara. "The cultures, experiences & practices of local authority museum professionals in contemporary institutional life." Thesis, University of Surrey, 2018. http://epubs.surrey.ac.uk/845700/.

Full text
Abstract:
As they are employed in local government-owned, managed and funded institutions, local authority museum professionals experience their working lives within an organisational framework that is based on high levels of politics and administration (Lawley, 2003). Inherent to this governance model are pressures, constraints and structuring forces that affect the agency and practices of local authority museum professionals, and the makeup of their institutions. However, the literature does not sufficiently attend to the experiences of local authority museum professionals, in terms of their working lives and the distinctive environmental conditions that they operate within. This is especially the case in the contemporary context. Of the museum types, local authority museums have been the hardest hit by austerity (Museums Association, 2015a, 2017a; Tuck et al., 2015), and my research finds out about the experiences of their professionals based on the findings generated from the data of 30 semi-structured qualitative interviews. My research comprehends the interplays between structure and agency, following a trajectory from the micro to the macro, through the perceptions of the participants. It consists of the following investigative format. The first focus was on finding out about the cultures of the participants to learn about their backgrounds, which was achieved by using Bourdieu’s (1984) concept of cultural capital. Learning about their cultures helps to identify whether there was a lack of ethnic and cultural diversity in the profession, and assists in understanding more about the characteristics that underpinned and shaped the practices of the participants. Then, using DiMaggio and Powell’s (1991) concept of isomorphism, the second focus was on finding out about the structuring forces that homogenised the practices of the participants and their museums, albeit in different areas and to different degrees. Deviating away from structuration, the third focus was on the agency of the participants and their manipulation of pressures and constraints in diverse ways, which were potential areas of innovation. Moreover, the experiences of the participants are at the heart of the findings and discussions that are presented throughout my thesis. My research evidences that pressures, constraints and structuring forces, in the form of isomorphic processes (normative, mimetic and coercive), homogeneously affected the practices of the participants and their museums. These processes were caused by other professionals, institutions and organisations, along with policies and communities. On evaluation of the findings, it is concluded that isomorphism was a presence among the museums, and more broadly, local authority museums in the sector, although the findings show that homogenisation had its advantages and disadvantages, which centred on legitimacy and efficiency. Furthermore, the findings show that while the participants were highly restricted in exercising their agency, there were small signs of its presence in their construction of displays and building of community and councillor support. As they would be enduring austerity for the foreseeable future, the participants perceived that building support would help to foster the resilience and sustainability of their museums. On reflection of the findings and discussions that are presented in my thesis, suggestions about where future research and policy need to be directed are made.

Abstract:
The urban regeneration of the Rimini – Marina Station area is a project with a strong possibility to be accomplished due to the conditions of the property that deem it appropriate for redevelopment established in the Piano Urbanistico Generale or General Urban Plan; however, a carefully defined project to foster actions directed to rescue existent structures and their integration with the construction of a new public building in a large and empty space of the property, with aims to restore the urban fabric of the area by covering specific needs remains to be accomplished. In the present thesis, a series of actions directed towards the analysis of the existent area are conducted, such as the RE.SIS.TO method for seismic assessment of the historic building present, and the design proposal, based on legislation on the matter, of a railway museum to promote tourism and culture public to occupy it. In addition, the design of an elementary school that follows the Montessori philosophy and contributes to the integration of the area within an urban, functional context. The result is an integrative approach that encompasses the key factors and derives into a viable project for the development of the area, in consideration with its context, historicity and needs.

Abstract:
AbstractAncient textiles are fragile and several factors can affect their integrity. In the present chapter, the main agents of deterioration of old and new textiles, namely physical-chemical (light, oxygen, heat, and humidity) and biological factors as well as human erroneous interventions will be explored. As far as the biological deterioration is considered, the effects of microbial growth, primary and secondary metabolites (acids, solvents, surfactants, pigments) and enzymes (lipases, proteases, and glycosidases) on textile strength and cleanliness will be described in details. The main fungal and bacterial species involved in the damage (textile discoloration, black and green spots, cuts) will be reported. Adhesive application during restoration procedures is discussed to highlight the risk of glue thickening giving rise to dull precipitates on the fabric.The main strategies for oil-stain and glue removal (both animal glue, such as fish collagen, and vegetal glue, i.e. starch) will be described in the paragraph devoted to biorestoration. Finally, a case study concerning an ancient Coptic tunic housed in the Egyptian Museum of Torino, Italy, and biocleaned by means of gellan-immobilized alpha-amylase from Bacillus sp. will be largely discussed by reporting historical data, adhesive characterization, methods for artificial aging of simulated sample and glue removal from the artwork.

Abstract:
ndramayu Regency has many ancient manuscripts that contain valuable information. Paper-based manuscripts are very easily damaged. Therefore, it is necessary to preserve ancient manuscripts. Switching to a digital flipbook is considered appropriate because it provides an interface that is similar to the original script. This study aims to describe the importance of preserving the cultural heritage of ancient manuscripts owned by the Bandar Cimanuk Indramayu Museum. Digitization can be an effort to preserve ancient manuscripts. The research used descriptive qualitative method. Data collection through observation, interviews, and documentation study. It is hoped that the research results in the form of flipbook development can be used as an effort to preserve ancient manuscripts that represent, protect, and exceed the physicality of ancient manuscripts. The conclusion of this study is that the ancient Legok Kolot manuscript is the identity and wealth of the Indramayu people, so it needs to be digitized so that the preservation of the script is maintained. The media transfer process at the Bandar Cimanuk Museum goes through three main stages, namely the pre-digitization process, the digitization process, and the post-digitization process. In its process, there are three important things that must be considered, such as source characteristics, product usability, and technological characteristics. The use of digital flipbooks as an effort to preserve ancient manuscripts is considered to protect, represent, and exceed the original ancient manuscripts

Abstract:
An exemplar from the Ryūkyū Islands (Japan), this red lacquer circular box dates from c.1590 and is part of the collection of the National Museum of Ancient Art (MNAA) - Lisbon, Portugal [1-2]. The conservation and restoration intervention carried out at the José de Figueiredo Laboratory (LJF), considering its state of conservation with a high risk of lacquer detachment and consequent loss of a large part of the decorative elements, allowed the study and definition of methodologies, including in the treatment of chromatic reintegration [3]. Its condition, the type of intervention, as well as its subsequent placement on display, motivated the reintegration method chooses and its application, which aimed to improve the reading and decorative understanding of the box. The use of extra-fine quality gouache in the mimetic reintegration executed ensured the necessary compatibility and stability with its constituent materials.
