{"title":"Review of Making Marvels exhibit at The Metropolitan Museum of Art","authors":"Julia M.

Between 1550 and 1750, royal dynasties in Europe assembled vast collections of valuable and entertaining objects representing truly spectacular inventions. Innovative tools, scientific instruments, stylized automata and luxury clocks expressed wealth and mastery of the world in a predominance over nature. Concentrated public funds went into lavish luxury display as an expression of ultimate power and status. From the Renaissance to the Enlightenment, these marvels inspired extraordinary advances in science, technology and the arts with an impetus that echoed in political strategies, economic calculus but also the ethics of innovation. Over the centuries, luxury insignia have been conserved and admired by the masses. To this day, arts, fashion and lifestyle is driven by luxury, a form of excellence only reachable by the elite. Although today’s luxury may not be created in European courts on public spending, we can still – to this day – learn from these historic grand luxury creations exhibited at the Metropolitan Museum of Art eternal values. The beauty and fascination of luxury survived throughout different times and contrary regimes. Up to today, these gems continue to mesmerize as unique experiences that are too beautiful to fail, too commonly-shared to be destroyed and too much of a Gestalt to be apart imbuing excellence displayed in luxury an eternal life. The exhibit itself appears as most advanced showcase of the deeper meaning of luxury in society than its pure visible joyful merits: As the amalgamation of artistic creation in light of European royal competition would break technological innovations that set the ground for modernism and engage crowds to contribute and stand in for the ennobling common wealth. In this ‘Making Marvels’ holds invaluable insights for the business of luxury but also ethical imperatives for the importance of excellence in society with a social component. When wandering through the well-composed luxury arcade highlightening the many domains of royal wealth and predominance it becomes clear that even though the luxury belongs to a few, these beautiful objects contribute to this day to the cultural heritage and economic well-being of the many. Art, science and entertainment was perfected at European royal courts that revolutionized our thinking in the artistic, scientific and societal worlds. Innovation and common endeavors found in luxury moments influence society and the economy to this day and today’s attention to excellence may be more important than ever. In light of our contemporary turbulent times of technological revolutions, the pleasure of luxury can entertain and the hidden value of knowledge generation and scientific advancement grant the hope of humankind to continuously excel in science and flourish in luxury.","PeriodicalId":142620,"journal":{"name":"Arts Administration & Museum Studies eJournal","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130835236","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

After going over the scientific debate on cultural and creative industries (CCI), the beginning of creative economy and its development are pointed out. The research is based on the deep examination of scientific articles, policy documents and reports and strengthened by some in-depth interviews to a sample of museum managers in London. \u0000Results: The research results reveal that the shift towards creativity has marginalised cultural heritage in cultural policy in favour of CCI stricto sensu,determining the predominance of models that do not consider the specificity and value of local resources. Goals of social inclusion, democratization of culture and cross-fertilization between different cultural sectors too have not been fully achieved. \u0000Research limitation: This paper has the limitations of the qualitative research. A further development could encompass the widening of the field of investigation and the analysis of the results of European cultural programmes. \u0000Practical implications: The paper provides advice to policy makers and public and private cultural managers, suggesting the opportunity of a deeper exploration of alternative models based on the enhancement of place-specific resources and aimed at promoting sustainable development in the glocal context.Originality of the paper: In the context of an increasing enthusiasm towards creative-driven approaches the research highlights some limits of the prevailing models.","PeriodicalId":142620,"journal":{"name":"Arts Administration & Museum Studies eJournal","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114957010","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper evaluates this particular method of museum pricing in terms of efficiency and equity. It concludes, drawing from the economic analysis of two-part pricing, that there is a strong rationale for the membership model, and that this is so even in cases where the museum experiences an increase in unrestricted endowment such that “free” membership would be financially sustainable.","PeriodicalId":142620,"journal":{"name":"Arts Administration & Museum Studies eJournal","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127204706","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
