My #MidweekMuseum today is the Norsk Folkemuseum (or Norwegian Museum of Cultural History) at Bygdøy in Oslo, Norway. It's an open-air museum housing dozens of historical buildings relocated to this area for preservation, and home of the Gol Stave Church (circa 1200 CE), one of three stave churches we've now visited in Norway when travelling. Who doesn't love a stave church?
@cydonian
That's an extremely appreciated point, and thank you so much for sharing. Just because of this post, I'm just learning on the historical dynamic of this and how it relates to the visual representations. @ssharadmohhan
For #internationalmuseumday I bring you my #Lego#Museum display at #Brickresales#Brisbane. It's not the best picture.
Starting at the top, we have a 1:1 scale baby mosasaur, not scaled human skeleton, trilobite, and ankylosaurus and two "rock fossils" at the very back of a different trilobite and prawn thing haha. None of those are designed by me.
The next shelf is some duplo builds and some of the 3 in 1 dinosaur sets.
The third and fourth shelf are my Lego museum. All my designs.
Enjoy
"A Material World is an event series hosted by the Warburg Institute which focuses on the reconstruction of life in the past through objects and materials, the people who made them and the people who used them. Combining public lectures, student seminars and live object-based presentations, the series brings together academics and heritage professionals from a wide range of disciplines including #history, art history, #cultural history, #archaeology, #anthropology, history of #religion and #museum studies. The series will discuss issues concerning historical objects, their materials, forms, and functions, as well as their conservation, presentation, display, and reconstruction".
"Decolonizing the Ethnographic Museum" by Christoph Chwatal.
About the efforts of the Weltmuseum Wien (an ethnographic museum) to offer a more open and less colonial perspective of its collections.
"This combination of active engagement and individualism seeks to present a resistance to the totalizing, teleological perspective of the imperial era from which such collections were born. But what if this strategy merely masks those origins, meanwhile echoing the colonial tendencies such institutions have promised to undermine?"
How about a visit to an amazing automotive museum? This one is in Los Angeles, it's called the Petersen and if you're in LA, do put aside a day to go visit this place. Gorgeous building, incredible collection. Buy a pass to enter the Vault, no cameras allowed but you get to see more of their collection, tucked in the basement. All sorts of vehicles!
Today: guide a group at Stensö #Castle, deliver Aska finds to the County #Museum, look at the #longhouse platforms at Agla in Överjärna, #boardgames night. All wearing shorts and sandals for the first time this year!
His former home and office is now a #museum dedicated to his legacy. High up inside the Sir John Soane’s Museum, a room has stood unseen for the last 200 years
where Soane’s draftsmen and apprentices worked with #Soane on the designs that shaped the neo-classical architectural character of Regency era London.
Now, after a year of restoration works, visitors can see the room where Soane created the blueprints that would change the course of #architecture in London.
@InayaShujaat@histodons Yes, I’ve been more than once to Turkey (in my teens & twenties) but was too young to give it the proper attention it deserves.
I wrote about a new study that found that, although online #art overall has a positive effect on people's moods (just like #museum visits), not everyone responds to it equally well. #science#scicomm#writing#WroteThis
