The conservation of skin, leather and related materials is an area that, until now, has had little representation by the written word in book form. Marion Kite and Roy Thomson, of the Leather Conservation Centre, have prepared a text which is both authoritative and comprehensive, including contributions from the leading specialists in their fields,

La guía general es un testimonio de la imagen que el Museo ofrece de sí mismo, de lo que quiere ser y de cómo desea ser visto. Presenta una mirada de conjunto de su exposición permanente, formada por las obras de referencia de sus fondos artisticos. Tras las sucesivas versiones que el Museo ha venido editando casi desde sus inicios, esta publicacion responde a una nueva etapa, en la que destacan dos grandes cambios que han renovado el Museo: Por una parte, desde 2009, la rehabilitacion arquitectonica del Colegio de San Gregorio y la nueva presentacion en esta sede principal de su coleccion de referencia. Por otra parte, el ingreso de una nueva coleccion, la del extinguido Museo Nacional de Reproducciones Artisticas, para la que se ha habilitado un nuevo edificio, la iglesia de la Casa del Sol, abierta al publico en 2012.

Este libro nos presenta una visión completa y sorprendente de Valladolid y su Museo Nacional de Escultura, incluyendo fotografías en color, un plano callejero y mapa de accesos a la ciudad.

Este libro nace desde una mirada nueva hacia un enclave histórico de la ciudad de Valencia: el Convento Franciscano de Santa María de Jesús; una mirada que intenta darle el valor que merece desde el analisis de su riqueza historica, espiritual, patrimonial y artistica. Creado en 1428 por voluntad de la reina Maria de Castilla, esposa de Alfons el Magnanim, el convento fue habitado durante cuatrocientos diez años por monjes franciscanos observantes muy cercanos al poder real de la Corona de Aragon, lo que da cuenta de su importancia. Las dependencias del convento y su espacioso huerto cercado abarcaron treinta mil metros cuadrados de la fertil huerta de Patraix, y existen datos que hacen pensar que en su construccion gotica intervino Francesc Baldomar, el mejor arquitecto del siglo de oro valenciano y preferido del rey Alfonso. De entre los monjes que lo habitaron destaca la fi gura del mistico valenciano del siglo XVI Pedro Nicolas Factor Estaña, extraordinario pintor que dejo sus obras en las paredes de su convento, en los cuadros que pinto para el y en los miniados de los libros del coro, hoy todo desaparecido. En 1784 la Orden Franciscana decidio hacer una profunda remodelacion de su iglesia conventual y del claustro mayor, en la que participaron los mejores creadores de arte de la epoca, algunas de cuyas obras, afortunadamente, se han conservado en la iglesia, destacando la cupula pintada por Vicente Lopez Portaña. En 1838 el convento es desamortizado y vendido en la dinamica politica que Francisco Tomas y Valiente identifi cara como la gran farsa desamortizadora . Y aqui comienza su expolio y su decadencia, que todavia no ha terminado. Porque entre 1842 y 1866 Santa Maria de Jesus se transformara en una fabrica de hilaturas de seda. En 1866 lo compra la Diputacion de Valencia, que un año despues instalara alli el Manicomio Provincial, situacion que durara hasta 1989 y que es por lo que es recordado en el imaginario colectivo. No obstante, sobrevivira un espacio privilegiado, dos claustros menores que siguen intactos como esgrimiendo la dignidad de lo que fueron y que hasta el año 2010 albergaron los servicios de salud mental infantil de la diputacion. Desde entonces estan abandonados. Este relato pretende tambien reivindicar la recuperacion de esos dos claustros menores. Porque el olvido es la gran baza de la destruccion, y solo recuperando su memoria podremos apreciarlos y conservarlos.

Creating Digital Exhibits for Cultural Institutions will show you how to create digital exhibits and experiences for your users that will be informative, accessible and engaging. Illustrated with real-world examples of digital exhibits from a range of GLAMs, the book addresses the many analytical aspects and practical considerations involved in the creation of such exhibits. It will support you as you go about: analyzing content to find hidden themes, applying principles from the museum exhibit literature, placing your content within internal and external information ecosystems, selecting exhibit software, and finding ways to recognize and use your own creativity.Demonstrating that an exhibit provides a useful and creative connecting point where your content, your organization, and your audience can meet, the book also demonstrates that such exhibits can provide a way to revisit difficult and painful material in a way that includes frank and enlightened analyses of issues such as racism, colonialism, sexism, class, and LGBTQI+ issues. Creating Digital Exhibits for Cultural Institutions is an essential resource for librarians, archivists, and other cultural heritage professionals who want to promote their institution's digital content to the widest possible audience. Academics and students working in the fields of library and information science, museum studies and digital humanities will also find much to interest them within the pages of this book.

«Notable es la pretensión que anima la obra de ser un análisis general del régimen jurídico de los museos. En el que faltan muy pocas cosas que no están y podrían estar, y que fusiona ese conocimient

This book explores the histories and functions of museums while also looking at the current standing of museums and their ongoing efforts toward relevance, resiliency, and future-proofing. Section I examines the beginnings of museums with chapters dedicated to art and design museums; natural history and anthropological museums; science museums; museums focused history and the past; and gardens, zoos, and childrens museums. Emphasis is on museums in the United States, with some historical framing beyond the U.S. Section II explores the primary functions of museums, including conservation, exhibition, interpretation, engagement, and service. Section III examines museums from within by exploring critical issues and contemporary movements facing museums and our society: transparency and openness, labor and equity, belonging and coalition-building, risk-taking and risk aversion, and sustainability and empathy. Advocating for change rather than death to museums, Museums in Motion demonstrates the very premise that museums have been in motion all along, as they have shifted from their rather simple form of a treasury, storehouse, and tomb to something much more complex by deeply considering where museums have come from, where they are today, and where they are going.

Recent decades have seen migration history and issues increasingly featured in museums. Museums and Migration explores the ways in which museum spaces - local, regional, national - have engaged with the history of migration, including internal migration, emigration and immigration. It presents the latest innovative research from academics and museum practitioners and offers a comparative perspective on a global scale bringing to light geo- and socio-political specificities. It includes an extensive range of international contributions from Europe, Asia, South America as well as settler societies such as Canada and Australia.Museums and Migration charts and enlarges the developing body of research which concentrates on the analysis of the representation of migration in relation to the changing character of museums within society, examining their civic role and their function as key public arenas within civil society. It also aims to inform debates focusing on the way museums interact with processes of political and societal changes, and examining their agency and relationship to identity construction, community involvement, policy positions and discourses, but also ethics and moralities.

The museum has become a vital strategic space for negotiating ownership of and access to knowledges produced in local settings. Museum as Process presents community-engaged "culture work" of a group of scholars whose collaborative projects consider the social spaces between the museum and community and offer new ways of addressing the challenges of bridging the local and the global.Museum as Process explores a variety of strategies for engaging source communities in the process of translation and the collaborative mediation of cultural knowledges. Scholars from around the world reflect upon their work with specific communities in different parts of the world Australia, Canada, Ghana, Great Britain, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, South Africa, Taiwan and the United States. Each global case study provides significant insights into what happens to knowledge as it moves back and forth between source communities and global sites, especially the museum. Museum as Process is an important contribution to understanding the relationships between museums and source communities and the flow of cultural knowledge.

Museums everywhere have the potential to serve as agents of changebringing people together, contributing to local communities, and changing peoples lives. So how can we, as individuals, radically expand the work of museums to live up to this potential? How can we more fiercely recognize the meaningful work that museums are doing to enact change around the relevant issues in our communities? How can we work together to build a stronger culture of equity and care within museums? Questions like these are increasingly vital for all museum professionals to consider, no matter what your role is within your institution. They are also important questions for all of us to be thinking about more deeply as citizens and community members. This book is about the work we need to do to become changemakers and demand that that our museums take action toward positive social change and bring people together into a more just, equitable, compassionate, and connected society. It is a journey toward tapping the energies within all of us to make change happen and proactively shape a new future.

The last two decades have seen concerns for equality, diversity, social justice and human rights move from the margins of museum thinking and practice, to the core. The arguments both moral and pragmatic for engaging diverse audiences, creating the conditions for more equitable access to museum resources, and opening up opportunities for participation, now enjoy considerable consensus in many parts of the world. A growing number of institutions are concerned to construct new narratives that represent a plurality of lived experiences, histories and identities which aim to nurture support for more progressive, ethically-informed ways of seeing and to actively inform contemporary public debates on often contested rights-related issues. At the same time it would be misleading to suggest an even and uncontested transition from the museum as an organisation that has been widely understood to marginalise, exclude and oppress to one which is wholly inclusive. Moreover, there are signs that momentum towards making museums more inclusive and equitable is slowing down or, in some contexts, reversing.
