“Exhibitions—successes and muted potentials”
Ways to exhibit research based knowledge
This seminar aims to create an atmosphere for a free exchange of ideas about what makes some exhibitions into successes in terms of their capacity to convey research based knowledge, while some other exhibitions never manage to convey their potentially powerful message about significant research findings. Whether an exhibition is seen as successful depends obviously on the criteria directing the evaluation, and in the context of this seminar, the emphasis is on research findings. However, whether a museum is seen to succeed in its’ effort, also depends on who the respondents / public are, that is, whether it is the museum itself, certain categories among the public or the broader public.
During the seminar, our invited speaker will share with us experiences from his engagement with collections, research and the potentiality of knowledge dissemination within museum contexts. Some questions to ask are, for instance, why some exhibitions becomes great successes while others, despite all odds, become failures? What happens in situation where the museum and the public disagree on the successfulness and/or failure of an exhibition?

"Between nature and culture, le musée des Confluences de Lyon, a narrative museum"
Cédric Lesec, Director of International Relations, Musée des confluences, Lyon, France
Abstract:
The musée des Confluences, which opened in Lyon December 2014, tells the story of mankind and the history of life. The permanant exhibition begins with great universal questions and then goes on to explore the origin and destiny of humanity, the diversity of cultures and civilisations as well as the place of humans within the web of life.
With more than 2 million artefacts in its collection (mixing ethnographic and natural history collections), the musée des Confluences is committed to exploring long term issues as the only way to understand the world’s complexities.
Since its opening with a 3 million audience, the musée des Confluences is now the first museum in France after Paris. 30 % of its visitors acknowledge have never visited a cultural institution before. They are certainly attracted by the way the museum adresses global issues with a narrative ambition thru interdisciplinary and immersive scenography.
The discussion will be introduced and led by Kjersti Larsen, former head of the Exhibitions Council at MCH
