What words do you associate with the idea of a universal museum?

Are Universal Museums still relevant in the 21st century?
What is the enlightenment and how does it relate to the idea of the universal museum?

Is it really necessary/possible to bring dispersed museums objects back together in order to appreciate them?

Are the displays created for the Parthenon Sculptures at the Acropolis Museum, Athens, better/more effective/more authentic than the displays created for them in the British Museum?

How should we consider this issue in relation to cultural repatriations more broadly - e.g. the repatriation of indigenous materials held in many museums? ]]> 2021-03-17 06:26:41 UTC https://padlet.com/walker_g/AHIS90005wk4wed11am_seminar/wish/1319194738 The Parthenon Sculptures walker_g https://padlet.com/walker_g/AHIS90005wk4wed11am_seminar/wish/1319197583 BM Gallery Leaflet]]> 2021-03-17 06:27:57 UTC https://padlet.com/walker_g/AHIS90005wk4wed11am_seminar/wish/1319197583 George Clooney wades into Parthenon Marbles debate—again walker_g https://padlet.com/walker_g/AHIS90005wk4wed11am_seminar/wish/1328302514 The Art Newspaper GARETH HARRIS
