The Levitation Module can be used to display an object or statue significant to your museum/Centre. Here the object/statue is made to float over a base making it appear unique and attractive. www.dbproductions.in #ExperientialExhibits #InteractiveExhibits #ImmersiveExperiences #Museum2.0 #InnovativeSolutions #Museums

According to UNESCO intangible cultural heritage are the traditions or living expressions inherited from our ancestors and passed on to our descendants, among others the knowledge and skills to produce traditional crafts. All over the world capable hands replicate movements that have developed during centuries and they create traditional objects as well as innovative elements. Museums are the perfect place to learn about the past, the lace schools such us the Il Giardino dei Punti in Milan or workshops like UnPizzo in Cantu are the perfect place to meet women that are innovating today. In all our journeys the encounter with those who preserve and pass down intangible cultural heritage is central. People are our main destination.

The Maritime Museum of Barcelona While the Barcelona Maritime Museum houses a fascinating collection of maritime history, it fell short of my expectations in comparison to other museums such as the Hamburg Museum, Newport Museum or the Edinburgh Museum. The signage was confusing, and the arrangement of exhibits lacked coherence, detracting from the overall experience. These issues were significant enough for me to note them in the museum’s feedback notebook. #MaritimeMuseumBarcelona #MuseumExperience #HistoryInSight #SignageConfusion #ExhibitArrangement #VisitorFeedback #MuseumCritique #CulturalExpectations #NavigationalChallenges #HeritagePreservation #MuseumJourney #HistoricalInsights #MaritimeCollection #MuseumStandards #VisitorExperience #FeedbackMatters #ImprovementNeeded #CulturalComparison #barcelona #ExpectationVsReality #MuseumVisit @MaritimeMuseumBCN MuseumViews @CulturalHeritage @MuseumCritics @VisitorVoices @motto.panah

The Royal Museum for Central Africa (or "#AfricaMuseum") in #Belgium reopened its doors in 2018 after closing its doors for a 5-year extensive "#decolonisation" process. Part of this initial incarnation involved an introductory exhibition called "Sidelined", in which a number of objects from its former displays now considered to be "problematic" were placed in a room for public scrutiny and reflection. Unfortunately, the exhibition did not have the intended transformative impact on its audience, and ultimately the entire concept was abandoned. The colonial-era sculptures were instead moved to a separate space, where they can only be visited with a guide. I originally made this presentation in 2022 when "Sidelined" was still on display. In it I critique the delivery of the original exhibition and offer suggestions for how the intended #decolonial impact might have been better conveyed on an audience unfamiliar to reflecting critically on colonial structures. I steadfastly do not believe that the way to decolonise the mind is to tell it explicitly what to think, and I do not believe that hiding these historically popular problematic objects away outside of a carefully monitored gaze is going to facilitate decolonial unlearning. Systemic #racism and racialised #injustice will only ever be confronted out in the open, and I truly believe that through these "problematic objects" the Royal Museum for Central Africa has in its possession the tools to be able to lay the colonial imagination bare and rid it of its power, in the hands of the African diaspora.
