The Themes
Three themes characterize DEMHIST's sessions at the ICOM general conference
in Barcelona in 2001:
New Forms of Management for Historic House Museums? confronts the
issues of if and how house museums need to create a new rapport (in terms
of didactics, communication, and management) with the public in order
to reach a broader consensus,
Security, Old Buildings, New Buildings, and Architects treats the
delicate matter of how to intervene in historic structures and new historic
house museums for the safety of the people and the collections,
Relationships Between Authenic Interiors and Assembled Objects
focuses on a strategic choice which is fundamental to historic house museums,
that is, whether to preserve the house's furnishings and decorations as
they were originally without substantial changes or additions, or, conversely,
to recreate the furnishings and decorations with objects which were not
part of the original house and its contents. The Acts gather the authors' contributions.
