Abstract

In this article, the author describes how the creation of the Danish maritime museums in 1915 and 2013 – both generously funded by maritime foundations and actors – was perceived by the shipping industry as initiatives that would help market the industry in the eyes of the public. He argues more generally that national maritime museums constitute focal points for disseminating narratives that legitimate maritime activities and establish these activities as symbols of national identities. It is suggested that maritime historians, curators and scholars reflect on the relationship between maritime industry actors and museum exhibition narratives, and consider the interests and capital that potentially underpin museums’ and curators’ decisions.

航运合法性和身份:丹麦海事博物馆,1915年和2013年
在这篇文章中,作者描述了1915年和2013年丹麦海事博物馆的创建——这两个博物馆都得到了海事基金会和行为者的慷慨资助——被航运业视为有助于在公众眼中营销该行业的举措。他更普遍地认为,国家海洋博物馆是传播合法海洋活动叙事的焦点,并将这些活动确立为国家身份的象征。建议海事历史学家、策展人和学者反思海事行业参与者与博物馆展览叙事之间的关系,并考虑可能支撑博物馆和策展人决策的利益和资本。
