The fundamental objective of this exercise is for you to do some very quick and basic online research so that you can tell the group something about what makes the case study private museum distinctive and innovative (or not) in your opinion. walker_g https://padlet.com/walker_g/AHIS90005_wk9_privmuseums_wed9am_sem/wish/559061060
1. What are the key characteristics of a private museum?

2. How does this kind of museum differ from larger, more institutionalised examples, such as state and national museums of art?

3. What motivates their development as far as the collector is concerned? And what motivates their success (or failure) as far as the public viewing these spaces is concerned?

4. How do the the case studies differ among themselves in terms of the different ways that they frame their collections and in terms of their presentation of themselves as an institution - in particular, consider the issue of how the image of the presiding spirit of the collector/s is presented in each of the case studies - what do these differences have to tell us about the different orientations / aspirations of these museums? ]]> 2020-05-08 05:56:56 UTC https://padlet.com/walker_g/AHIS90005_wk9_privmuseums_wed9am_sem/wish/559061060 STUDENT ATTENDANCE LIST walker_g https://padlet.com/walker_g/AHIS90005_wk9_privmuseums_wed9am_sem/wish/559070137 2020-05-08 06:06:35 UTC https://padlet.com/walker_g/AHIS90005_wk9_privmuseums_wed9am_sem/wish/559070137 Student List walker_g https://padlet.com/walker_g/AHIS90005_wk9_privmuseums_wed9am_sem/wish/560794087 2020-05-08 21:54:39 UTC https://padlet.com/walker_g/AHIS90005_wk9_privmuseums_wed9am_sem/wish/560794087 HE Art Museum https://padlet.com/walker_g/AHIS90005_wk9_privmuseums_wed9am_sem/wish/566997640 HE is representative of the Chinese character meaning 'harmonious,' it also carries connotations of balance and good luck - these ideas are explored in the physical form of the building, designed by Japanese starchitect Tadao Ando - incorporates stacked disks and a double helix staircase as well as water elements (often used in the region).

The space is designed to be flexible in order to present exhibitions of a variety of art forms as well as public programs. It will be a space to display the 400 work strong collection (international and Chinese artists) of He Jianfeng (the founder) as well as a Cantonese Opera

Aiming to become a cultural landmark in the Canton region - will showcase the art and culture of the Lingnan region.
