摘要:

Early in 1982 the Government of Canada announced the creation of a special crown corporation, the Canada Museums Construction Corporation (CMCC), to design and erect new buildings for two museums within the National Museums of Canada: the National Gallery of Canada and the National Museum of Man. After extensive consultation, in particular with the staffs of the two museums and the Board of Trustees of the National Museums, CMCC made recommendations on sites and architects, which the government approved early in 1983. The architect chosen for the National Museum of Man, to work in collaboration with the Montreal firm of Tétreault, Parent, Languedoc, was Douglas Cardinal of Edmonton, Alberta. Most of Cardinal's highly individual and sculptural buildings, with serpentine walls, are in his native province—in smaller communities such as Grande Prairie, Red Deer and Ponoka. It is probably not unimportant, since the Museum of Man is devoted to the history and life of mankind in Canada, that Cardinal is a metis; his maternal grandmother was a Black Foot. The Director of the National Museum of Man since July 1983 has been Dr George MacDonald, who has worked at that museum for twenty‐one years and who was for eight years Chief of its Archaeology Division. Responding to a request from Museum, Dr Jean Sutherland Boggs, former Chairman of the CMCC, organized a discussion which took place in November

摘要:

The history of Korea spans over 4,000 years and the heritage of so ancient a culture is a very rich one, which must be rediscovered and conserved for future generations. Korea has been active in these tasks since 1902, through the promotion of research on traditional architecture, and the building up of collections of paintings as well as other cultural artefacts throughout the country. In 1945 the Cultural Property Preservation Bureau was set up in order to ensure the adequate protection of this heritage and in 1961 a law was passed on the subject according to which ancient art objects and old buildings, together with ‘non‐physical’ elements such as folk dances, music, theatre, etc. could be declared national cultural treasures.In 1973, this law was revised so as to prevent clandestine archaeological excavations and illicit traffic in works of art.The list of the Republic of Korea's national treasures, of wich the most remarkable are described in the pages that follow, lengthens each year, thanks to concerted efforts in research and conservation. As this issue goes to press the former capitol building in Seoul is being renovated to house a new National Museum of Korea. The transplanted collections will be opened to the public in their new setting in late 1986. The Central Asia collection, never displayed before, is among those which will be on show for the first time. The collection was put together by a Japanese collector, deposited at the colonial administration headquarters in the capitol and kept there since that time. We hope that these and other new offerings for the Republic of Korea's museum visitors will be fully described in a future issue of the mag
