Open-air museum An open-air museums and living history museums are a category of museum that exhibits collections of buildings and artifacts out-of-doors. European open-air museums are variously known as skansen, museums of buildings and folk museums. A recent form is the Ecomuseum, which originated in France. A comprehensive history of the open-air museum as idea and institution can be found in Swedish museologist Sten Rentzhog's 2007 book Open Air Museums: The History and Future of a Visionary Idea. Definition[edit] Open air is "The unconfined atmosphere...outside buildings...".[1] In the loosest sense, an open air museum is any institution which includes one or more buildings in its collections including farm museums, historic house museums, and archaeological open air museums. Common to all open-air museums, including the earliest ones of the 19th century, is the teaching of the history of everyday living by people from all segments of society. Origins[edit] North American innovations[edit] Notes[edit]
A user's guide to art-speak | Art and design The Simon Lee Gallery in Mayfair is currently showing work by the veteran American artist Sherrie Levine. A dozen small pink skulls in glass cases face the door. A dozen small bronze mirrors, blandly framed but precisely arranged, wink from the walls. In the deep, quiet space of the London gallery, shut away from Mayfair's millionaire traffic jams, all is minimal, tasteful and oddly calming. Until you read the exhibition hand-out. If you've been to see contemporary art in the last three decades, you will probably be familiar with the feelings of bafflement, exhaustion or irritation that such gallery prose provokes. With its pompous paradoxes and its plagues of adverbs, its endless sentences and its strained rebellious poses, much of this promotional writing serves mainly, it seems, as ammunition for those who still insist contemporary art is a fraud. David Levine and Alix Rule do. IAE always uses "more rather than fewer words". The mention of interns is significant.

Living History Activity and Children's Literature This is a sample chapter from In Times Past: An Encyclopedia for Integrating US History with Literature in Grades 3-8 by Carol Otis Hurst and Rebecca Otis (Order from Amazon.com. SRA/McGraw-Hill, 1993. ISBN 0-7829-0155-7) One of the most exciting things that has happened for students of history and the general public in recent years is the creation of living history museums. In these museums, people live and work the way they did in that area in the past, assuming the roles of real settlers. It has occurred to us that students might create a living museum, on a much smaller scale of course, in which they would assume the roles of historical characters. Choose a Time and Place As a class, choose a year and an area of the country around which you would like to center your studies. Choose Characters Help the students choose from an assortment of characters for this extended role playing. Variations The class can move from one geographical area to others throughout the school year.
