Museums, memorial centres and other heritage institutions use various strategies to evoke an emotional response that serves to elicit empathy with the historical events and actors that are portrayed ...in exhibitions. To increase historical understanding, however, both emotional engagement with and contextual understanding of these historical figures are needed. Using the concept of historical empathy, this paper examines the continuous interplay between cognitive and affective dimensions of history learning in museums. We conducted a case study at Museon in The Hague, the Netherlands. We studied a learning session on children living through the Second World War, the museum's strategies employed in the exhibition, the entrance narratives of secondary school students participating in the session and their engagement with the exhibition and with the educational activities. While most of the students did not feel related to WWII prior to their museum visit, the museum managed to engage many of them with personal stories and artefacts and by offering multiple and new perspectives. Our findings underscore the interplay between cognitive and affective dimensions of historical empathy and show that museums can serve as powerful contexts for developing this skill among school students.
997 Munch paintings from Edvard Munch’s estate (The Ekely Collection) were examined to evaluate the ‘Kill-or-Cure’ theory; that Munch exposed paintings to the weather in order to change their ...appearance. The findings were related to written sources, photographs and Munch’s exhibition strategies. The conclusion is that Munch most likely did not use the weather as an artistic instrument, and that the condition of many of the paintings in The Ekely Collection is due to practical circumstances, poor storage, and the artist’s extraordinary negligence.

Critical discourse on the Hong Kong left-wing cinema has emphasized the progressive filmmakers as primarily an ethical force caught in a left – right divide and an advocate of social and cultural ...reform through the cinematic medium. While this ethical-reformist bent of the cinematic left is central to the aesthetic vision and public image of the progressive film community, the analysis presented in this study pays attention to the institutional and corporate character of the left-wing film apparatus and their strategic self-positioning in the mainstream film industry during the 1950s and 1960s. This understanding of the left-wing’s praxis will have a bearing on production and exhibition strategies of film studios, as well as the continuation of the left-wing film network in the post-Cold War, post-Cultural Revolution era.
The article analyzes the way to introduce glosses in the vernacular treatises and it therefore concentrates both on Tuscan texts of the 13th and 14th centuries dealing with astronomy, physics, ...natural philosophy, moral and religious arguments and on the comments of Latin and vernacular works.

The role of ethnographic museums was, to begin with, that of imparting information about foreign cultures. These were, often enough, described as the polar opposites of the civilized places in which ...ethnographic museums could be found. The museum objects metaphorically represented primitive stages in human development. They appeared like relics even if produced recently. Anthropology, ethnography, or ethnology was the academic discipline which concerned itself with primitive cultures. The ethnographic museum with its harvests of colonial booty therefore seemed like the self-evident medium for conveying anthropological information. Today the preconditions for this constellation have changed. Have museums become inappropriate to communicate anthropological knowledge?
