摘要:

Concerning museum technologies there is a widespread assumption that “the more sophisticated the better”. This article suggests that, even in such a very hi‐tech country as Switzerland, that assumption is not necessarily correct. Having been deputy restorer at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and conservator of fine arts at the Canadian Conservation Institute in Ottawa, the author worked as chief of the conservation department at the Swiss Institute for Art Research in Zurich and, since 1985, has been head of conservation of the Thyssen‐Bomemisza Collection in

摘要:

Musical instruments are particularly vulnerable to the mood swings of Lady RH (relative humidity). Jacques Deferne should know; be has a Ph.D. in science (from the University of Geneva) and also plays the harpsichord. He is at present curator of the Department of Mineralogy at the Natural History Museum in Geneva as well as being chairman of the Association for the Early Music Centre in the same city. It was his friendship for harpsichord makers that prompted him to go more deeply into the problems associated with hygrometry.

摘要:

Even the most complete museum collection is often hampered by an inadequate documentation system, precluding full appreciation of the objects displayed. At the Boymans‐van Beuningen Museum in Rotterdam, an innovative approach to documentation draws on numerous previously unexploited resources to enhance access to its collection of pre‐industrial objects. The system is presented here by one of its designers, the current curator of the collection. She received her degree in the History of Art from the University of Leiden in 1966. This year, on the basis of the system she and her collegue Alexandra van Dongen wrote ‘Pre‐industrial Utensils 1150–1800’, Amsterdam, 1991 (in Dutch/English,

摘要:

In Museum, No. 169, we published ‘Robert and the Museum Problem,’ a short story that told about the stormy reactions of a little boy when he was taken to museums. Also noting, to put it another way, that family visits do not always fulfil their potential, the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) in Los Angeles, California, decided to issue a special family‐oriented guidebook to its collections. Here with the story– and suggestions for others wishing to follow suit – is MOCA's first director of education who was educated in India, Australia and the United States, and worked at the Boston Children's Museum and the Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art (at Cornell University) before moving to Lo
