Описание: Historic House Museums in the United States and the United Kingdom: A History addresses the phenomenon of historic houses as a distinct species of museum. Everyone understands the special nature of an art museum, a national museum, or a science museum, but "house museum" nearly always requires clarification. In the United States the term is almost synonymous with historic preservation; in the United Kingdom, it is simply unfamiliar, the very idea being conflated with stately homes and the National Trust. By analyzing the motivation of the founders, and subsequent keepers, of house museums, Linda Young identifies a typology that casts light on what house museums were intended to represent and their significance (or lack thereof) today. This book examines: - heroes' houses: once inhabited by great persons (e.g., Shakespeare's birthplace, Washington's Mount Vernon); - artwork houses: national identity as specially visible in house design, style, and technique (e.g., Frank Lloyd Wright houses, Modernist houses); - collectors' houses: a microcosm of collecting in situ domesticu, subsequently presented to the nation as the exemplars of taste (e.g., Sir John Soane's Museum, Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum); - English country houses: the palaces of the aristocracy, maintained thanks to primogeniture but threatened with redundancy and rescued as museums to be touted as the peak of English national culture; English country houses: the palaces of the aristocracy, maintained for centuries thanks to primogeniture but threatened by redundancy and strangely rescued as museums, now touted as the peak of English national culture; - Everyman/woman's social history houses: the modern, demotic response to elite houses, presented as social history but tinged with generic ancestor veneration (e.g., tenement house museums in Glasgow and New York).

In this ground-breaking study, Dr Robert MacCann cuts through the tangle of myth and legend to identify the earliest Arthurian sources, three sixth-century Welsh poems by Arthur's bard that give eyewitness accounts. The poems miraculously survived for 800 years, while the Welsh language was evolving, to be preserved in a manuscript of the early 1300s. They reveal the truth about Arthur, showing him to be an authoritative Christian king with an unparalleled military reputation, revered by his men. Most astonishing of all, two of the poems record a disastrous sea voyage to a distant land, Annwfyn, where the Britons fought torrid battles against the inhabitants but were eventually decimated. From details in the poems Dr MacCann shows that Annwfyn was America. Arthur's death is mentioned twice, one poem implying that the badly wounded Arthur was given a mercy killing by his bard and was beheaded to protect his head from mutilation. Only a few survivors reached Britain but Arthur's body remained in Annwfyn, his grave being lost.

Описание: How can museum educators and higher education tutors enhance the way HE students use museums? There are many examples in the UK of museums and universities working together in productive and innovative ways, but these relationships tend to be based on individual enthusiasm and opportunistic arrangements. Despite the growing importance of museum education departments, higher education tends to be overlooked by museums. This book looks at the interaction between design students and museums, and explores issues, projects and emerging ideas about how museums can better support HE students. It illustrates the general lessons that can be learnt, both strategic and practical, which can help to bring about long-term and constructive relationships between museums and universities in order to enable effective student learning.
