  • The Industrial Revolution: 18-19Th C

    The Industrial Revolution: 18-19Th C

    The Industrial Revolution: 18-19th c. Displaced from their farms by technological developments, the industrial laborers - many of them women and children – suffered miserable living and working conditions. Romanticism: late 18th c. - mid. 19th c. During the Industrial Revolution an intellectual and artistic hostility towards the new industrialization developed. This was known as the Romantic movement. The movement stressed the importance of nature in art and language, in contrast to machines and factories. • Interest in folk culture, national and ethnic cultural origins, and the medieval era; and a predilection for the exotic, the remote and the mysterious.

    Newsletter # 05 / March 2013

    EUROPEAN HERITAGE HEADS Newsletter FORUM # 05 / March 2013 Dear colleagues I am looking forward to greeting you in Oslo in May! In this newsletter you will find infor- mation on the programme for the EHHF meeting, from May 22 (evening) to May 24th and information on how to register. We have included news on developments in the European Cultural Heritage sector pertaining to our meeting in May. If you wish to bring your partner or spouse I am happy to welcome them to all meals and excursions. Please notify us of this when you register and please register as soon as possible. The programme for this year’s meeting is focused on two topics. The first, which we will discuss among ourselves, is the organization of the EHHF and the creation of an EHHF Secretariat. The second topic is the cooperation with the NGO sector to improve dialogue and cooperation with civil society to build a more cooperative cultural heritage management policy. A number of guests are invited to discuss this with us. We are still working to com- plete the details. I am also pleased to have accommodated interesting technical excursions. On the evening of the 22nd we shall meet for a welcome reception at the new Opera building, which was inaugurated in 2008 and listed in 2012. In the afternoon of the 23rd we will take the boat to Bygdøy. Here we will have lunch and afterwards visit the Stave Church, the excavated Viking ships and historic buildings from the middle ages up to the 19th century. The dinner will be in the historic Akershus Castle and hosted by the Minister of Environ- ment.

    Australian Freephone: 1800 132 385 New Zealand Freephone: 0800 132 385 Email: [email protected] A Summer of British Festivals Featuring 3 performances at the The Proms, 2 operas at Glyndebourne and Shakespeare at Stratford and The Globe As Summer comes to England, our minds turn towards glorious Summer Festivals. The wonderful series of BBC Proms at the Royal Albert Hall, a night out at the opera at Glyndebourne and, in the 450th anniversary year of Shakespeare’s birth, to the Summer performances of the bard at the RSC in Stratford and at the Globe in London. Our 14 night program combines these inspiring events into a summer symphony of culture and allows you to sit back and relax while enjoying some stunning performances of drama and music. However, our musical and dramatic pursuits do not prevent us from enjoying some of the best scenery England has to offer. Naturally, while in London, we enjoy a tour of the National Gallery with a specialist guide, we visit splendid Kew Palace and Gardens, enjoy a day out on the Thames at Windsor and Eton, visit Hampton Court Itinerary at a Glance and take advantage of the special Summer opening of Buckingham Site / Number of Nights Palace. We stay at Brighton, close to Glyndebourne, to visit the London - 4, Royal Pavilion and nearby Sissinghurst Gardens, as well as the Brighton - 3, quaint towns and villages of Kent and East Sussex, such as Stratford – 3, Tenterden and Rye. While in Stratford, not only do we visit the town of the Bard but also immerse ourselves in the history of London – 4.

    Transcription of 3D and VR Pavilion Estate curatorial commentary Written and voiced by Alexandra Loske URL: http://brightonmuseums.org.uk/3DPavilion/ Royal Pavilion The Royal Pavilion was created between 1785 and 1823 by George, Prince of Wales who would later become Prince Regent and eventually King George IV. George first visited Brighton as a young man aged 21 in 1763 and soon after decided to make the seaside town his playground away from London. He rented a house on the site of the present Pavilion and in 1786 hired the architect Henry Holland to build him a ‘pavilion by the sea’. This first building on this site was a two-storey, symmetrical structure in a neo- classical style. It was elegant and sophisticated, but by no means exotic in appearance. George made alterations and changes to his pleasure palace throughout his life, gradually creating the outlandish and exuberant palace we see today -- although he never called it a palace. He mostly used it for lavish banquets and to stage great balls and concerts, and often spent several months at a time here. The greatest change to the exterior was made between 1815 and 1823, when the famous architect John Nash was hired to transform the neo-classical building into an oriental fantasy. The exterior we can see here was inspired by Indian architecture, with added Gothic elements. Nash added two large state rooms to the Pavilion on the north and south end, with tent-shaped roofs. The onion-shaped domes and ornamental features in the centre of the building were built around and on top of the existing building, using cast iron on a large scale.

    Narrator: From Brighton, on the English South Coast, these are the voices of the Royal Pavilion & Museums, with Dr. Sophie Frost. Sophie: Hello! I'm Sophie, and I've spent the past 9 months wandering the corridors of the Royal Pavilion & Museums in Brighton & Hove - otherwise known as RPM - uncovering the stories of the museum people who keep Brighton's historic buildings and collections relevant, vibrant, and accessible for the world we're living in. Sophie: In this episode I'm joined by Marcus Bagshaw, Sue Winkett, Clare Hartfield, and Zak Flannery, who all work in the Visitor Services team at Royal Pavilion & Museums, Brighton and Hove. As we discovered last time, schemes such as the Workforce Development programme provoked a family feel across the workforce at RPM. In what follows, we'll see how the enthusiasm and expertise of different frontline staff provides a collective energy that keeps RPM's objects, buildings, and collections, alive for its visitors. Marcus: My name is Marcus Bagshaw and I'm what they call a Visitor Services Officer - basically front-of-house. The role is all-encompassing - it's not just the one thing - we get involved in many different elements of customer service. And, I think one of the main reasons we are there, is to embellish the customer experience - provide just that little bit more information that they might not get, ordinarily. So, that means that we do get into some very interesting conversations, long and short. And, of course, working in a place like the Royal Pavilion - visitors are never short of questions.
