The study will investigate the creation and manipulation of experience in interior space. With phenomenology as the premise, the object becomes secondary to the experience. The site will be an unutilized vault structure on the Ditsong: National Museum of Natural History grounds in Pretoria. To give expression to experience, the program chosen is an experience based exhibition that adds onto the current exhibition at the museum. The exhibition will change annually to ensure variation for yearly visitors. To facilitate changing the exhibition, the spaces will be designed with the senses as base layers. Each space will be experienced primarily through one of the senses, so that the user becomes more aware of the specific sense in that space. The exhibition that layers onto the sense layer can focus on that sense to convey facts about the subject. The chosen subject for the exhibition detailed in the project is the insect collection. The purpose of the exhibition will be to show how insects use their senses. The senses of the insect will layer onto the basis layer of human senses. Because everything we experience is through our own senses, we can only get an idea of what the insect would experience. There will always be the interlayer of our own senses. Hierdie studie ondersoek die skep en manipulasie van ervaring in die binneruim. Met fenomenologie as uitgangspunt word die objek sekondêr tot die ervaring. Die perseel sal ‘n ongebruikte gewelf struktuur op die Ditsong: Nationale Museum van Natuurlike Geskiedenis se gronde in Pretoria wees. Om uitdrukking te gee aan ervaring is die gekose program ‘n ervaring gebaseerde uitstalling wat toevoeg tot die huidige uit-stalling by die museum. Die uitstalling sal jaarliks verander word om variasie te verseker vir gereelde besoekers. Om die verandering van die uitstalling te vergemaklik, word die ruimtes ontwerp met die sintuie as basis laag. Elke ruimte sal primêr ervaar word deur een van die sintuie sodat die gebruiker bewus word van die spesifieke sintuig in daardie ruimte. Die uitstalling wat gebaseer is op die sintuigbasis kan fokus op daardie sintuig om feite oor die onderwerp oor te dra. Die gekose onderwerp vir die uitstalling uiteengesit in die projek is die insekversameling. Die doel van die uitstalling sal wees om te wys hoe insekte gebruik maak van hulle sintuie. Die sintuie van die insek sal bo op die basis laag van menslike sintuie gevoeg word. Omdat alles wat ons ervaar deur ons eie sintuie geskied, kan ons slegs ‘n idee kry van wat die insek sal ervaar. Daar sal altyd die tussenlaag van ons eie sintuie wees. / Mini Dissertation (MInt (Prof))--University of Pretoria, 2010. / Architecture / unrestricted

<p>The purpose of this paper was to analyse “Identity- about trademarks, signs and symbols”. The project was a co-operation between the National museum of Art and Stockholm School of Economics in the spring of 2002, which consisted of an exhibition, a book and a series of seminars. The goal was to illustrate how the trademark had developed through history, which role it has in the modern society and how the trademark serves as a creator of identities. The project, mostly the exhibition, was exposed to criticism, which was directed towards the sponsorship deals between The National Museum of Art and five companies.</p>

The aim of this study is to give a historical view upon and examine the development of local and regional cultural history museums in Norway as a topic in Norwegian cultural policy 1900 – circa 1970. The present thesis is divided into four main parts: In part one data sources and theoretical perspectives are presented. The thesis is written in museology and this is the background for a perspective where of local and regional museums arose as a subject requiring development of public politics. The theoretical perspective is how development of politics frequently appears as a choice between various alternatives based on available contemporary material and ideological suppositions. Local and regional museums appear in this perspective as a cultural phenomenon in their own age, a phenomenon to which Stortinget, the Ministry and the museum profession attached both interpretations and conceptions. In part two, entitled “Concern over a group of museums” the parallelism between museum growth and policymaking from 1900 – 1920 is analyzed. Development of politics in these years can be considered as a process where the formation of clearly defined guiding principles for practice by the authorities took place. In the centre of this development of politics was the regulation on governmental subsidy based on a political framework the need to conform to norms related to calculability and equal treatment. At the same time it does appeared the legitimacy to carry out disciplinary measures was nourished by a conception of local and regional museums as unruly and an image of them as a type of “freely growing” institution. In part three, “A formative recognition”, deals with the growing cooperation between The Norwegian Museums Assosiation and the Ministry in the field of local and regional museum and how it influenced the work in this museum. Cooperation with the museum society ensured that a competent apparatus was available to the Ministry. This led gradually to development of a new administrative regime, more specifically a move toward something which can be described as a professional administration. Part four “Consolidation of the politics” examines the development 1945 – circa 1970. The new tendencies would turn out to reflect an increasing awareness of the educational opportunities for future museum personnel, different solutions for establishing good professional guidance for the unmanned museums and, in parallel within the professional museum milieu, an emerging debate on the museums’ role in society. Common for all these initiatives is that they demonstrate what one could characterise as an increasing degree of professionalism. Part four end with the Proposal from the Museum Committee of 1967. This white paper was presented by the Ministry of Churches and Education in 1972. The document was the first of its kind and was intended to be recognised as a comprehensive plan.  The most tangible result of the white paper was the arrangement for subsidies to semi-public museums which was introduced in 1975.

This thesis presents results of a research on a topic that has not been studied yet. The first part focuses on general questions and context - contemporary views on exhibition activities, the process of realization of the exhibition (exposition), typology of archival sources and their information value, nomenclature and projection of external influences (politics, censorship) into the exhibition activities. In the other part are (in a form of analysis of a concrete material) presented expositions of National Museum, it's exhibition activities between 1953-1962, expositions and exhibitions of a Mineralogical department and exposition of a Prehistorical department. A list of exhibitions corresponding to the current state of research is connected in the attachment. Key words: Exhibitions, expositions, National Museum, archival sources.

We defend the thesis that pioneering work in ecology were carried out at the mentioned institutions and that the researchers involved actively contributed to the consolidation and institutionalization of the ecological area in Brazil, between the years 1944 and 1976. This approach gave priority to the dialogue between the social history, environmental history and the history of science, by addressing the links between the social-political context of the First Republic and the Vargas period with the emergency of the ecological issues in Brazil. Subsequently, the decades of 1950-70 represented a period in which the development of ecological knowledge by scientists and national researchers analyzed in this study occurred in parallel to the appearance of environmental movements in increasing scale. Therefore, we call attention to the fact that the development of the Brazilian ecological thinking is related to institutional demands and its ecological diversity, while tropical country and with its own flora and fauna. As to the fact that the use we give to natural resources associated with social issues, is elucidator of a country possessing extreme social inequalities and always dependent on these resources. The weight of misuse lies directly on the part of the population most directly dependent on them, the most socially vulnerable. Historical studies on the environmental issue, linked to the different dimensions of scientific knowledge, only have to add the cognitive construction of possible articulations of the social process. / O objetivo deste trabalho ? analisar a consolida??o da Ecologia no Brasil, a partir da contribui??o de duas institui??es cient?ficas nacionais na forma??o e sistematiza??o de um determinado pensamento ecol?gico, realizando uma investiga??o hist?rica no Museu Nacional e no Instituto Oswaldo Cruz.

Esta abordagem priorizou o di?logo entre a hist?ria social, a hist?ria ambiental e a hist?ria das ci?ncias, ao abordar as articula??es entre o contexto pol?tico-social da Primeira Rep?blica e do per?odo Varguista com a emerg?ncia das quest?es ecol?gicas no Brasil. Posteriormente, as d?cadas de 1950-70 representaram um per?odo em que o desenvolvimento do conhecimento ecol?gico por parte de cientistas e pesquisadores nacionais analisados no presente trabalho ocorreu paralelamente ? emerg?ncia de movimentos ambientalistas em escala crescente. Sendo assim, chamamos a aten??o para o fato de que o desenvolvimento do pensamento ecol?gico brasileiro est? relacionado ?s demandas institucionais e a sua diversidade ecol?gica, enquanto pa?s tropical e com uma fauna e flora pr?prias. Assim tamb?m como ao fato de que o uso que damos aos recursos naturais, associados ?s quest?es sociais, ? elucidador de um pa?s possuidor de desigualdades sociais extremadas e sempre dependentes destes recursos. O ?nus do mau uso recai diretamente sobre a parte da popula??o mais diretamente dependente deles, as mais fragilizadas socialmente. Estudos hist?ricos sobre a quest?o ambiental, vinculados ?s diferentes dimens?es de conhecimento cient?fico, s? t?m a acrescentar na constru??o cognitiva das articula??es poss?veis do processo social.

Museums can be productive sites for the study of society, because they are spaces where the constitution of knowledge about the past is made visible through public display. Playing an important role in the performance and legitimisation of national culture, museums in Scotland pay particular attention to the education of children. It is often claimed that children can gain an understanding of their history through physical engagement with museum collections. Both the ‘past’ and the ‘future’ are thus constituted within the museum. Through an exploration of children’s education at the National Museum of Scotland and The Lewis Chessmen: Unmasked touring exhibition, I argue that efforts by museums to exert control over ongoing processes through which subjects and objects, past and future, nations and heritage are constituted can be deeply challenged by children and museum objects, both of whose status remain inherently dynamic and unstable. Despite the museum’s claims to have “real things [objects] revealing stories”, objects rarely reveal narratives beyond those exerted upon them. They are, instead, materially and relationally constituted in particular places, at particular times. The same ‘instability’ applies to children visiting the museum. Children engage with the material stuff of the museum in surprising and unpredictable ways. This dynamic, multisensory interaction enables children to pursue personal projects, which do not necessarily adhere to the agendas of the museum. Yet, children often do go along with the museum’s narratives, commonly accepting what they are told by adults about the objects they are handling. They are also deeply concerned with the authenticity of these objects. Whether an objects is ‘real’ or not, however, is not necessarily judged by the same standards shared with the museum. Children’s awareness of a ‘real’ object’s metonymical presence not only enables an experiential encounter with the past, but also enables them to work out their own positions within the power structures of the museum; testing their own concerns relating to trust, truth, value and the process of becoming adults.

The theme of this master's thesis is "Marketing of the Vrchotovy Janovice Chateau". The Vrchotovy Janovice Chateau is one of the exhibitions of the National Museum outside Prague. The introductory part analyses the history of the castle from the point of view of its potential for marketing strategies. Another part deals with number of visitors of the castle as an important measure of successful marketing. Furthermore the thesis concentrates on application of the marketing tools and it analyses marketing of the castle by using SWOT analysis. The inseparable part of the thesis is a survey of the "chain guidance" and of the public awareness of the existence of the castle. The aim of the master's thesis is to evaluate the marketing potential of the Vrchotovy Janovice Chateau and its park, consider its current marketing tools and suggest improvement solutions for the future. Key words: Vrchotovy Janovice Chateau, Vrchotovy Janovice park, National Museum, Arts marketing, Chain guidance
