Museum, Place, Architecture and Narrative : Nordic Maritime Museums’ Portrayals of Shipping, Seafarers and Maritime Communities, Hardback Book

Museum, Place, Architecture and Narrative : Nordic Maritime Museums’ Portrayals of Shipping, Seafarers and Maritime Communities Hardback

Part of the Museums and Collections series

Hardback

Description

A characteristic trait of the maritime museums is that they are often located in a contemporary and/or historical environment from which the collections and narratives originate.

The museum can thereby be directly linked to the site and its history.

It is therefore vital to investigate the maritime museums in terms of relationships between landscape, architecture, museum and collections.

This volume unravels the kinds of worlds and realities the Nordic maritime museums stage, which identities and national myths they depict, and how they make use of both the surrounding maritime environments and the architectural properties of the museum buildings.
