“…Thus, museums have recently undergone severe reshaping, with massive investments in infrastructure (Macleod et al, 2012). Indeed, architecture has become a critical factor in engaging people physically, symbolically, functionally and experientially (Rectanus, 2006). Museum architecture can create a distinctive sense of local space, promoting stronger ties with communities, because it involves people in creating new forms of locality and ownership (Rectanus, 2006).…”

Experimental Museology scrutinizes innovative endeavours to transform museum interactions with the world. Analysing cutting-edge cases from around the globe, the volume demonstrates how museums can design, apply and assess new modes of audience engagement and participation.Written by an interdisciplinary group of researchers and research-led professionals, the book argues that museum transformations must be focussed on conceptualising and documenting the everyday challenges and choices facing museums, especially in relation to wider social, political and economic ramifications. In order to illuminate the complexity of these challenges, the volume is structured into three related key dimensions of museum practice -namely institutions, representations and users. Each chapter is based on a curatorial design proposed and performed in collaboration between university-based academics and a museum. Taken together, the chapters provide insights into a diversity of geographical contexts, fields and museums, thus building a comprehensive and reflexive repository of design practices and formative experiments that can help strengthen future museum research and design.Experimental Museology will be of great value to academics and students in the fields of museum, gallery and heritage studies, as well as architecture, design, communication and cultural studies. It will also be of interest to museum professionals and anyone else who is interested in learning more about experimentation and design as resources in museums.

In this thesis we discuss a natural history museum as a means of recording scientific and museum practices. Based on broad literature review, archives and technical visits, we propose a theoretical model of museographic pattern: forms of exportation of scientific objects related to design, type of collection, texts, lighting, audiovisual and multimedia resources and the role of the collection and the visitor in museological discourse, from the nineteenth century to the present.Although patterns have been developed in specific contexts, they may be contemporary, with different ways of exhibition being possible within the same institution and / or exhibition. It also found similar patterns in different museums, evidence or contact between institutions and circulation of knowledge, ideas and objects. Our theorical model were applied to five exhibitions of museums of natural history, contemporary, Lusophone (Brazil and Portugal) that addressed the biodiversity: "Conchas Corais e Borboletas"; "Biodiversidade: conhecer para preservar"; "Galeria da Biodiversidade"; "Reis da Europa Selvagem" e "Specere". We use the concept "biodiversity" as a temporal marker and a point of articulation among the exhibitions analyzed. We started the analysis from a Matrix that summarized in indicators the patterns and characteristics of the exhibitions. The curatorial team constitution was crucial among the issues that identify as determinants to the way and forms in exhibition (other issue identified: objective, type of institution, theme and collection).The lack of some scientific and museological practices, the invisibility of professionals and knowledge reaffirm the authority of the natural sciences and museums, that is researchers authority on visitors. We have found that even more recent than the conception of biodiversity are ways of exposing that allow to experience it. Since enabling biodiversity exhibitions also means interacting with the multiple perspectives of its crisis and allowing critical visitor positioning .

Nullius in verba,'' ''On the word of no man.'' In the 1660s, with these words taken from Horace, the scientific age was inaugurated. Adopted by the newly established Royal Society, this motto declared a break from Aristotelian epistemologies based on doctrine, rhetoric, and the authority of accepted truths which had dominated the scholastic world of the Middle Ages and Renaissance. What the new academicians proposed was a commitment to empirical evidence as the basis for knowledge, a commitment to establishing truths about the world through the staging of experiments. The experiment, meaning ''from trying,'' thus became synonymous with the scientific method. Indeed, the popular image of the scientist remains that of a white-coated figure, surrounded by laboratory apparatus, peering into a test tube.Historians of science have discussed the concept of the experiment at length. Like other disciplines, the natural sciences have had their reflexive turn and authors including Hacking (1983), Latour (1999), and Shapin and Schaffer (1985 have turned their critical attention to the experimental processes through which scientific knowledge is produced. While they have pointed out the heterogeneity of types of experimentation historically (especially Hacking 1975; see Schaffer 2005), central to many character-Macdonald / Exhibition Experiments 1405130768_4_000
