The analysis focuses on three key years in the building’s history: 1991, 1999, and 2015. Critically examining public debate and media coverage of the building in contemporary Dutch- and Japanese-language sources, I argue that changing claims and public perceptions of Japan reflected the country’s shifting economic fortunes and international position during the period. The sources consistently framed the Japanese-designed building within a language of dreams. However, the dreams gradually transformed from desires and nostalgic projections to sleepiness and inactivity. Japan, and the annex as its symbolic embodiment, remained a ‘place of dreams’, but the nature of those ‘dreams’ changed dramatically over the period studied.","PeriodicalId":52057,"journal":{"name":"Museum History Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2018-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/19369816.2018.1427344","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43021792","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}

As the first fully illustrated catalogue dedicated to this institution, Le Musée du Luxembourg not only described the museum’s extant collection but, in effect, prescribed a future history of art to be narrated on its walls. Yet, the Caillebotte Bequest and its Impressionist paintings and works on paper were only installed at the museum in 1897. This article interrogates how Le Musée du Luxembourg preemptively ushered Impressionism into official art history, studying the intersections between Bénédite’s enthusiasm for this art and the French state’s calls for fine-arts policies predicated on such republican principles as impartiality and eclecticism.","PeriodicalId":52057,"journal":{"name":"Museum History Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2018-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/19369816.2018.1429369","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43166637","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}

The AMNH was the only major natural history museum in the United States to mount an installation featuring guidelines for wartime food conservation. Its innovative displays included models demonstrating 100 calorie portions and nutritional values of commonly eaten foods, as well as examples of unutilised and underutilised food sources such as seaweed and seafood, and unfamiliar native food crops (e.g. maize). This exhibition foreshadowed modern day concerns with food sustainability and proved to be an important example of how a scientific museum could contribute to the war effort. It was also a significant departure from old-fashioned natural history displays and contemporary dioramas, as well as an experimental foray for the Museum into public policy issues of the day.","PeriodicalId":52057,"journal":{"name":"Museum History Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2017-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/19369816.2018.1389450","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46394654","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}

Which objects were selected for photography, how they were photographed, and what then happened to both object and photograph: these interrelated aspects of ‘the object habit’ require further interrogation in order to situate the historical acts of knowledge production through which archaeologists, museum curators, and a wider public have apprehended the material remains of the ancient past. In this paper, I draw on examples of object photography in Egyptian archaeology from the 1850s onwards, and in particular, the archive formed during the 1920s excavation of the tomb of Tutankhamun. Like the objects themselves, photographs were destined to circulate between field and museum, and the photographic requirements of these complementary spaces arguably influenced both the ‘look’ of object photographs and the way the photographs were themselves used and catalogued, not only at the time of a given excavation, but subsequently. As this paper argues, colonial-era formations of knowledge about the object endure in the archive, obscuring the social and material practices through which photography operated.","PeriodicalId":52057,"journal":{"name":"Museum History Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2017-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/19369816.2017.1328818","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44178387","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}

The Tendaguru expedition in the South of German East Africa, today’s Tanzania, took place from 1909 to 1913. Organised by Berlin’s Museum für Naturkunde, the expedition took advantage of the German colonial enterprise, unearthing and transporting over 225 tons of fossils to Berlin. Among them were the bones of what eventually became the biggest mounted dinosaur in the world: Brachiosaurus brancai. This paper focuses on the issues that interrupted or delayed the visible outcome of the Tendaguru expedition and thus complicated, delayed, or interrupted a supposedly very unproblematic enterprise. By focusing on these complications, this paper aims to give new insights into the history of the Tendaguru expedition and its aftermath. At the same time, this episode in the history of transforming natural objects into objects of natural history serves to show the ways in which disruptions shaped and transformed both paleontological fieldwork and practical work at the museum. Thereby, the paper ultimately calls attention to the complex interactions between disruptions, narratives, and object habits. It further illustrates how museum objects were shaped by misfortunes and adversity, as well as broader institutional, political, and scientific narrations in colonial and post-colonial Germany, thus continuing to reshape the object habits of Brachiosaurus brancai.","PeriodicalId":52057,"journal":{"name":"Museum History Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2017-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/19369816.2017.1328872","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45801056","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}

The term is shorthand referring to an area’s customs relating to objects, taking into account factors that influence the types of things chosen, motivations for collecting, modes of acquisition, temporal variations in procurement, styles of engagements with artefacts or specimens, their treatment, documentation and representation, as well as attitudes to their presentation and reception. These customs emerge not only within the museum or out in the field, but significantly between the two, within the full agency of the world. The articles in this special issue explore the potential of ‘object habits’ in relation to the history of museums and collections across a selection of disciplines and a range of object types, including ancient artefacts, natural history specimens, archival documents, and photographic evidence.","PeriodicalId":52057,"journal":{"name":"Museum History Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2017-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/19369816.2017.1328780","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46174802","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}

The text is an ‘encyclopaedia’ of knowledge covering a vast range of subjects and approaches by studying objects including things found in nature and worked by man. For Pliny, these phenomena shared enough to be considered together while presenting an inventory of the resources in the Roman world and thus controlled by the emperor Titus (AD 79–81), to whom the work is addressed. The collection of knowledge for Pliny is a political act. The Natural History’s collapse of distinctions between objects, animate or inanimate, worked by man or in a natural state, as well as its insistence on political motivations for collecting objects and knowledge, serve as starting place for considering the ‘object habit’ and the impact of politics on collecting. Two examples are discussed: a Benin ‘bronze’ at a Cambridge college, and three giraffes gifted to the superpowers of nineteenth-century Europe.","PeriodicalId":52057,"journal":{"name":"Museum History Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2017-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/19369816.2017.1328791","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47629734","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}

In 2013–15 I ran an AHRC-funded research project on the history of excavations at Nimrud, the dispersal of finds from the site to museums, and the histories that have been written from that evidence for a website (http://oracc.org/nimrud). One major aim was to provide open-licensed material for re-use by museums holding Nimrud artefacts in their collections, but which do not have specialist curatorial staff to research and explain them. In writing that material it proved surprisingly hard to move away from the well-worn anecdotes of popular narratives that constructed unreliable object habits: heroic Layard’s derring-do in discovering Biblical, imperial monuments; doughty Agatha’s improvised cleaning of the Nimrud ivories with her face-cream; ISIS’s barbaric mission to destroy civilisation. In this paper, I explore the strategies we developed to write a deeper history of the site and its finds, and reflect on our relative successes and failures.","PeriodicalId":52057,"journal":{"name":"Museum History Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2017-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/19369816.2017.1328913","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45629588","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}
