TO DO WITH THE CHAOS: A SUGGESTION.
Sometimes we find museums professionals made with love, but without much planning. These museums, where objects are stacked in mixtures confusing things everyday stories, fossils, furniture donations, donations from people who felt that this vase, that gun or that chair should go to the museum.
Around ten or twelve years of the centenary of the village or neighborhood, the objects are piled to the museum a character very similar to antique, dusty and static.
Moreover, confusion undermines the conservation of the building and the objects themselves.
The rooms are so crowded that "where to start?
Dust and moisture are added together, the loose plaster falling on parts, labels become illegible and audiences start to dwindle. The museum is "always the same," a place full of things, but ... is a place for old things.
-proven solution is to remove ALL-planned mission. All.
Once removed, room by room, they will be saved in an auxiliary tank until you restore the building. So there will be no problems is to solve an emergency building industry is not it?.
But then comes the best.
The idea is not displaying everything. The suggestion is to keep the objects and rediscover from time to time. It mu and interesting to make a finding, for example, a sword that was known at the museum, but now with a whole different symbolism: find this sword.
surely have complaints. We can expect sentences how are you: "Where did that stop donated "or" have looted the museum . These phrases are common and may even bring labor or political problems.
be considered and convincing, because we are doing good.
To counter this, nothing better to explain what to do: save the items to keep them, because they were so long in poor conditions that need to be restored.
and reclaimed objects are cataloged, and successive samples are planned. Perhaps it is appropriate to make an exhibition of the museum itself, how to conserve and how to display, and about the need to be rotated samples for a better understanding of heritage.
If in addition we make the museum is filled with children, people who entertain and learn, the complaints are a thing apart, and may rebut that "now is a lot more people and be happy." The idea then is to return dynamic the museum, using the mobility to do multiple tasks essential. Thus, the museum will be different every month.
Another suggestion: why not find out whether the museum objects are effects of the museum?
in case. The chaos can be repeated.
