The exhibition as theatre – on the staging of museum objects

Abstract

I would like to examine the role of the setting in exhibitions as it is seen in relation to the stage set in the theatre. Museographers have a great deal to learn from the techniques of stage setting in the theatre. Furthermore, many of the concepts and models which characterize a «theatrical» or «dramatic» approach to culturalphenomena can be useful at a theoretical level in order to arrive at a better understanding of the exhibition.
