“…Palmyre Pierroux, Birgitte Sauge, and Rolf Steier Collaboration between partners in universities and museums is increasingly viewed as an important means of demonstrating the societal relevance of both research and practice in the GLAM sector (galleries, libraries, archives and museums). Recent studies have shown the significance of university-museum research collaborations in the context of advancing visitors' cognitive development in museum settings (Sobel & Lipson, 2016), fostering the democratisation of knowledge through citizen projects in archives (Hetland et al, 2020), and producing novel experiences of art, science and cultural heritage through the co-design of innovative exhibition technologies in galleries (Drotner et al, 2019;Kenderdine, 2020). Approaches to modelling and implementing such partnerships has thus emerged as a topic in museum studies, with experimental museology conceptualised as mutually beneficial alignments between professional practices and academic discourses, balancing both museum curators and university researchers' interests and contributions.…”

“…Second, as part of larger trends and developments in museum media research (Drotner & Schrøder, 2013;Drotner et al, 2019;Parry, 2010), it is possible to identify user-centred design methods from informatics and computer science (Hornecker & Ciolfi, 2019), which foreground studies of technological development and the social and biological mechanisms of information processing. In general, these design-based approaches are future-oriented (Vavoula & Sharples, 2007), focussed on how technologies may be designed for users' real and envisioned needs and behaviours in museum settings.…”

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.

Conceptualizing museum translation

The scholarly debate in translation studies and related fields has extensively addressed the definition, scope, and limitations of translation. We contend that museum translation, which encompasses both the traditional “translation proper” as well as the non-verbal and multimodal aspects of translation, is central to this debate. Museum translation covers an extensive spectrum of perspectives, which contribute to the expansion of the concept of translation and the field of translation studies. It capitalizes on the intrinsic interdisciplinarity of museum studies and translation studies, fostering a profound exchange of disciplines and serving as an ideal foundation for discussing the boundaries of translation. It has a dynamic nature that can contract or expand to suit the researcher’s perspective and disciplinary concentration. A comprehensive examination of the intricate procedures encompassed by museum translation is, therefore, timely. In this article, we examine and compare different applications of this concept and provide an overview of how various disciplines and research foci have approached this area of study. We aim to contribute to the ongoing development of the concept of museum translation and its position in translation studies, a call further addressed by each author in this special issue titled “Museums as Spaces of Cultural Translation and Transfer.”
