In this study, a group of families with children aged between two and four years visited a university art museum for multiple facilitated sessions within a participatory research project. Drawing on previous work on caring museum practices, this article explores the potential of museums to support young families through key affordances: time, connection, and exploration. We demonstrate how, by offering opportunities to slow down, build relationships, and take risks, the museum can become a nurturing space of care and connectedness. We contrast this care-centred approach with the pressure exerted on both the museum and early years sectors of target-setting approaches with easily measurable outcomes demanding a singular focus on rapid linear progress. The analysis presented here resists this model, offering instead an approach rooted in gentle attention and openness.","PeriodicalId":46506,"journal":{"name":"Museum Management and Curatorship","volume":"45 22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136112378","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"The temporary exhibition as a tool for communication and relationship between science and society: the case study of the Darwin-Dohrn Museum in Naples (Italy)","authors":"Thalassia Giaccone","doi":"10.1080/09647775.2023.2269132","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/09647775.2023.2269132","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTThe temporary exhibition ‘Sharks of the Mediterranean sea’ features scientific and artistic collections. Priority focus is the knowledge of the biodiversity of the selachians of the Mediterranean sea and the Gulf of Naples (Italy), through a museum itinerary that illustrates their biology, ecology, vulnerability, protection, and scientific research. The aim here is to describe the scientific communication strategies used to inform/educate the public but above all to promote a reflection that stimulates the latter to be a protagonist of a concrete action of care and custody of the selachians through a paradigm shift of the person-sea and person-shark relationship. The result is an exhibition set up in the graphic/photographic, videographic, and scenographic/museographic aspects, focusing on the visitor’s experience, his or her psychology, emotional and aesthetic relationships with the museum spaces as well as the solicitations of curiosity triggered by the interaction with the collections.KEYWORDS: SharksMediterranean Seaexhibitionscientific communicationmuseum AcknowledgementsI thank Prof. Ferdinando Boero, Prof. Roberto Danovaro and Dr. Claudia Gili for reviewing the scientific content of the exhibition, colleagues Dr. Elisa Cenci, Dr. Marco Signore, Dr. Andrea Travaglini, Dr. Maria Cristina Vigo Majello for collaboration on scientific design, text writing, and exhibit design, Dr. Ester Vollono for graphic design, Dr. Anna Maria Miglietta and the Museum of Marine Biology ‘Pietro Parenzan’ for the loan of the skin of Cetorhinus maximus, the underwater photographers and video-operators Rocco Cannella, Riccardo Cingillo, Emilio Mancuso, Alessandro Pagano, Domenico Roscigno, Chiara Soldati and Marco Spinelli for underwater images and filming, the scientific illustrators Marc Dando and Alberto Gennari, the Dohrn Foundation and finally dr.

{"title":"Repatriation of aboriginal sacred objects: prospects for the return of the poorly provenanced","authors":"Jason Gibson, Iain G. Johnston, Michael Cawthorn","doi":"10.1080/09647775.2023.2263847","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/09647775.2023.2263847","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTThis paper explores the challenges of repatriating poorly documented Aboriginal sacred religious objects from Central Australia. The authors present an overview of historical endeavours to repatriate these objects from Australian domestic museums and the progress of recent returns from international collections. Detailed documentation, including reference to an object’s specific relationship to places, people or ancestral stories is critical to ensuring that rightful contemporary Central Australian Aboriginal people can assume care and responsibility for any repatriated objects. The absence of provenance data and any other related collection documentation can therefore greatly inhibit the return of these objects to present-day custodians. Exploring the prospect of returning large numbers of poorly provenanced sacred objects back to Australia, this paper argues that aside from the potential logistical or infrastructure requirements of repatriating these items, the development of Indigenous cultural frameworks and innovations will be critical to any meaningful repatriation outcomes.KEYWORDS: Repatriation, religious items, Aboriginal heritage, museum ethnography, Indigenous cultural heritage Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 In this paper, the authors use tywerrenge to describe the specific sacred items following Henderson and Dobson (Citation2020, 334); other spellings are only used when pertinent to the discussion. These items are typically sacred stones and boards inscribed with motifs associated with particular Dreaming Beings and localities and are a key element in the ritual paraphernalia of Central Australia. The term also encompasses ritual designs and dances (Strehlow Citation1997,14–18, 84)..2 This section has been informed further via pers. comm with Ross Chadwick at the Western Australian Museum and Indigenous consultant Peter White, both on October 1st 2021.3 Research of women’s restricted material was not undertaken by the male authors of this paper but by women at AIATSIS.4 Peter White, pers. comm.
