ABSTRACT As museums face conflicting demands on maintaining and caring for their collections, opening for visitor engagement, and being more inclusive in their practice, new approaches are needed to museum work. This article introduces a democratic and inclusive approach focusing on the relational properties of the artefact – the Method of the Thing (Tigenes Metode). We use interviews with different museum professionals in Sweden. The method allows knowledge to emerge from the convergence of different actors within and outside the museum who negotiate their expertise, (professional) roles and technical infrastructure of the museum by foregrounding the object rather than the curators’ story. We use the encoding/decoding model to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the method where centring the object allows for a process of democratisation and polyvocality to take shape, thus allowing divergent narratives to emerge.

ABSTRACT For future historians, the year 2020 will undoubtedly represent the beginning of the twenty-first century, as the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic holistically shaped the fate of humanity for years to come, severely affecting all sectors even cultural organizations. Despite all of the challenges and problems caused by the pandemic, it has encouraged the development of a new digital landscape, through the services of which each museum will be able to expand its reputation and maintain and strengthen contact with its visitors, developing meaningful dialog and communication with them. To capture the reactions of Greek museums towards the restrictions imposed by the pandemic, the present quantitative research aims to examine issues of digital presence in social media, as well as their management practices. The study partly reveals the museums’ efforts to modernize, but it also demonstrates their inability to listen to and implement the standard practices of international institutions.

ABSTRACT Revolutionary exhibitions are unique cultural resources in China, part of a ‘red’ narrative that centers the Communist Party in the country’s liberation and development. They contribute substantially to the creation of a shared national identity, yet current revolutionary exhibitions in China show too much homogenization and too little narrative innovation. Organized and curated primarily on a mechanical manner, they often lack the persuasive force needed to promote a red narrative in the twenty-first century. Through in-depth interviews with visitors at the Shanghai Sihang Warehouse Battle Memorial, this article explores how revolutionary exhibitions can tell red stories in a way that engages the public, especially younger generations. This study addresses a critical question: How can exhibitions establish and maintain connections between a country’s revolutionary history, which is based on self-sacrifice, and a globalized market economy, which is driven by self-interest?

ABSTRACT This study builds on the multi-stakeholder perspective to explore the nature of stakeholder engagement across key areas of value creation in the museum context. The empirical research followed a multiple case study design, based on three cases selected in accordance with a maximum variation strategy. The investigation involved a qualitative content analysis of primary and secondary sources. The findings reveal a context-bound perception of stakeholders and varying conditions for their engagement in the value-creation process. The study provides a strategic perspective for a comprehensive, multi-layered review of the stakeholder engagement across different activity areas, and thus informs the formulation of strategies to improve the task-evidenced multi-voice narration within the scope of museum activities.
