Il documento di tesi ‘University Museums: Views and new perspectives of teaching & learning inside the galleries’ analizza e studia la vita del Museo Universitario, come istituzione al servizio dello studente e della società contemporanea. La ricerca e considerazioni su un’istituzione che ha contribuito e tutt’ora contribuisce a modellare la formazione accademica universitaria, portano a riconsiderare il suo metodo d’azione nei confronti dell’ampio pubblico a cui oggi si rivolge, e sulla conseguente esperienza museale. Dopo un’approfondita ricerca storica e contemporanea, si sono analizzati una serie di casi studio nel mondo, rilevanti nello specifico campo archeologico. Tali istituzioni, sono servite a tracciare l’idea di possibili scenari futuri in cui la figura dello studente ritorna ad essere centrale nell’istituzione museo. Grazie alla collaborazione con le istituzioni accademico-museali: Allard Pierson Museum (University of Amsterdam, NL) e Ian Potter Museum (University of Melbourne, AUS) si è arrivati alla formulazione di un Exhibition Model in grado di coniugare la figura dello studente/ricercatore e del visitatore, all’interno degli spazi museali. Il concept, quindi, si traduce in un luogo fisico all’interno delle gallerie in cui si promuove la comunicazione verbale ed il coinvolgimento studente-visitatore con la collezione museale. Un modello postulato sui valori di condivisione e scambio di sapere, in un ambiente eterogeneo e fondato sull’Inclusività. Affrontando un discorso a livello globale sull’identità del Museo Universitario, l’Exhibition Model qui presentato, mira principalmente a riportare attenzione ed a riaprire un dibattito di rilevanza internazionale sul ruolo che questa istituzione svolge oggi in ambito sociale ed accademico.

Abstract
The thesis document 'University Museums: Views and new perspectives of teaching & learning inside the galleries’ analyses and studies the long life of the University Museum, as an institution at the service of the student and of contemporary society. The research and considerations on an institution that has contributed and helps to shape the university academic body of knowledge, leading to reconsidering its method of action towards the wide public to which it is addressed today, and on the consequent museum experience. After a thorough historical and contemporary investigation, a series of case studies from around the world relevant in the Archaeological field have been analysed. These institutions have served to trace the idea of possible future scenarios in which the figure of the student returns to be central in the museum institution. Specifically, the collaboration with the Allard Pierson Museum (University of Amsterdam, NL) and Ian Potter Museum (University of Melbourne, AUS) led to the formulation of an Exhibition Model capable of combining the figure of the student/researcher and the visitor inside of museum spaces. The concept, therefore, translates into a physical place of study and research inside the galleries: where verbal communication and student-visitor involvement with the museum’s collection is promoted. Thus, a globally applicable model postulated on the values of sharing and exchange of knowledge in a heterogeneous environment based on inclusivity. Facing a universal discourse on the identity of the University Museum, the Exhibition Model presented here, aims primarily to bring attention and re-open a debate of international importance on the role that this institution plays today in the social and academic sphere.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
