SUMMARY:Interpreting Objects and Exhibitions at the National Museum of Eritrea
DESCRIPTION:Date:  Friday\, March 1 \nTime:  12:00 pm \nLocation:  UM Museum of Art\, Multi-Purpose Room (125) \nPresenter:  Timnet Gedar (PhD candidate\, History) \nInterpreting Objects and Exhibitions at the National Museum of Eritrea \nThe National Museum of Eritrea was established in 1992\, a year after the Eritrean People’s Liberation Front earned victory in a thirty-year war for independence. This history has shaped the nature of exhibits and interpretation at the museum in ways that both limit outcomes and allow for creativity. In this presentation\, I weave together this history with my practical work of writing object labels and exhibit introductions in order to understand the meaning and challenges of interpretive content at museums — especially museums in a postcolonial African setting. \nBrownBag_Gedar \n \n

SUMMARY:Locating and Relocating Lugdunum: Collection Management at Lugdunum — Musée et théâtres romains\, Lyon
DESCRIPTION:Date:  Friday\, March 15 \nTime:  12:00 pm \nLocation:  UM Museum of Art\, Multi-Purpose Room (125) \nPresenter:  Craig Harvey (PhD candidate\, Interdepartmental Program in Classical Art & Archaeology) \nLocating and Relocating Lugdunum: Collection Management at Lugdunum — Musée et théâtres romains\, Lyon \nThe archaeology museum of Lyon\, recently renamed to Lugdunum – Musée et théâtres romains\, is located on the hill of Fourvière\, overlooking the ancient theatres of the Roman city of Lugdunum. This museum is home to an impressive collection of artefacts from the city of Lyon and the surrounding region. The museum’s collection can be divided into two parts. The first\, known as the fonds ancien\, comprises thousands of inscriptions\, statues\, and other ancient works of art collected over the centuries by Lyon’s Musée des Beaux-Arts and gifted to the archaeology museum at its opening in 1975. The second part is the ever-increasing collection of archaeological artefacts uncovered by excavation and deposited in the museum repository\, as is required by French law. The fact that many of the museum’s objects have been in collections for centuries coupled with the growing number of artefacts from new excavations makes for a difficult collection to manage. \nThis past fall\, I had the opportunity to work with the museum’s collection\, both assisting with an inventory of all artefacts on display and helping with the move of the museum’s storage to an off-site facility. During my time at the museum\, I encountered issues concerning the accessibility and documentation of this very large and old collection. In addition to discussing these issues\, this talk will provide a brief introduction to Lugdunum – Musée et théâtres romains and give an overview of my internship there. It will also present examples of how the museum is making its collection more accessible to scholars despite recently moving the majority of its storage to a decentralized location. These initiatives include the creation of an online database and the use of new gallery spaces outside the museum. \nBrownBag_Harvey \n  \n

SUMMARY:From Club to Third Space: On the Interrogation and Creation of Community at the Scarab Club\, Detroit
DESCRIPTION:Date:  Friday\, March 22 \nTime:  12:00 pm \nLocation:  UM Museum of Art\, Multi-Purpose Room (125) \nPresenter:  Megan Berkobien (PhD candidate\, Comparative Literature) \nFrom Club to Third Space: On the Interrogation and Creation of Community at the Scarab Club\, Detroit \nFor over a century\, the Scarab Club has been an important gathering space for artists and patrons in Detroit’s museum district. Yet\, while the Scarab Club takes its mission as “foster[ing] a stronger\, more vibrant arts community in Detroit\,” the majority of its members and staff live outside of the city. In this sense\, it is no surprise that the once-exclusive Club has yet to transcend its legacy as an organization closed to large swaths of the Detroit community\, including those most marginalized by the suburb-city divide. As an intern\, I worked alongside staff to get intentional about community making and inclusion. In addition to assisting in day-to-day operations\, I designed a visitor’s survey\, supported and coordinated programming that featured Detroiters of color\, and facilitated conversations about equity and governance whenever possible. In this talk\, I will discuss how the Club might confront its history of exclusion through creative exhibition and programming\, and\, by doing so\, better position itself as a gallery and arts venue that uplifts artists from within the city. \nBrownBag_Berkobien \n

SUMMARY:Enhancing Access to Roman Ceramics at the Harvard Art Museums
DESCRIPTION:Date:  Friday\, March 29 \nTime:  12:00 pm \nLocation:  UM Museum of Art\, Multi-Purpose Room (125) \nPresenter:  Alison Rittershaus (PhD candidate\, Interdisciplinary Program in Classical Art & Archaeology) \nEnhancing Access to Roman Ceramics at the Harvard Art Museums \nThis talk discusses the tensions revealed between the shifting mission of a university museum and the complicated history of its collections during my internship in the curatorial department of Asian and Mediterranean Art at the Harvard Art Museums. In addition to shadowing department faculty and staff throughout ongoing strategizing about publications\, exhibitions\, and teaching accessibility with the goal of broadening the museum’s audience\, I worked on researching its substantial collection of Roman ceramic lamps\, fleshing out their entries in the online catalogue and proposing methods to integrate them into classroom teaching and gallery displays. \nJust as the institution is an agglomeration of multiple museums searching for a cohesive brand identity\, the lamp collection presents an accumulation of objects that resists neat categorization. They arrived over the course of more than a century\, residing in a variety of Harvard-affiliated collections before finding a permanent home in the art museum. Though they are archaeological objects\, with very few interesting primarily for their aesthetic value\, many lack information about their origin and many can be easily identified as modern forgeries or reproductions. This talk explores the process of trying to use the constraints to put the lamp collection to use in service of the larger museum’s goals. \nBrownBag_Rittershaus \n \n  \n  \n
