Abstract It is debated whether or not the “luxury” of a luxury object is contained within the object or exists beyond it. This text examines one object – a Neoprene little black dress by Givenchy – in the context of its references backwards and forwards. Using Webb Keane’s semiotic-temporal alignment, the dress’s past is analyzed as iconic and nostalgic through Walter Benjamin, and its future as symbolic and ironic through Donna Haraway. Theories of object agency are considered through W.J.T. Mitchell and as between life and death. Luxury, finally, as abundance or indulgence is taken on as a method of inquiry.

Abstract Historical interiors, often known as period rooms, are included in the Europe 1600–1815 Galleries on the basis of the rooms’ quality as individual objects of art and design, their importance in providing a sense of architecture and scale, their role in enabling a change of pace and atmosphere and their great popularity with visitors. They are hugely problematic museum objects, for both practical and conceptual reasons, and they presented numerous challenges in terms of research, conservation and display. This article reveals the thinking behind the presentation of one particular room – the bedchamber from La Tournerie, a late seventeenth-century country house in north west France.

Abstract In The Cabinet, the gallery devoted to seventeenth-century collecting, a table with a cast bronze top with three small cases stands under the window. It unites activities with museum displays, encouraging visitors to explore the gallery narrative and themes through hands-on investigation. This article discusses the thinking behind and commissioning of this activity table which was conceived with one of the project’s target audiences in mind – family groups.
