WAM acquired the highly significant collection in 2014 from the Higgins Armory Museum and plans to design an innovative installation, consisting partly of open storage, with emphasis on accessibility, both physical and intellectual. The grant would help fund preparatory activities including specialist review of the collection, brainstorming by regional academics and educators to suggest possible interpretive approaches, and consultation with interpretation and design specialists to turn these ideas into concrete plans for a compelling and engaging installation that will appeal to diverse audiences. The installation’s core humanities concepts will be the contrast between the superficial purpose of the objects and their actual complex functions, and the meaning of their enduring power as symbols today when they are no longer in actual use.

In addition to developing an iPad implementation, our project provided recommendations for accomplishing this in the Meyer Idea Lab and the Medieval Gallery. To accomplish our goal, we visited museums with interactive exhibit designs, interviewed museum staff, observed visitors, and surveyed visitor responses to the available media.

Hayden April 5, 2008 _______________________________ Professor Jeffrey L. Forgeng. Major Advisor Keywords: History – Middle Ages, Knight, Arms and Armor 1 Abstract The medieval knight was the deciding force on the battlefield during the Middle Ages, due primarily to his specialized arms and armor and his extensive training. This project tells the story of the knight through the arms and armor at his disposal. The team’s substantial research document on the knight's historical context, weapons, armor, and equestrian equipment formed the basis of a 15-minute video documentary that will be shown hourly to the public at the Higgins Armory Museum. 2 Contents Contents .................................................................................................................................................... 3 Figures ........................................................................................................................................................... 7 Introduction .................................................................................................................................................. 9 History and

  • The Morion: an Introduction to Its Development, Form, & Function
    ASAC_Vol105_03-Tavares_120008.qxd 9/29/12 4:32 PM Page 2 The Morion: An Introduction to its Development, Form, & Function By Jonathan Tavares The helmet type known as a morion has become an iconic symbol of the Renaissance soldier. It is defined in its classic combed form by a distinct symmetry and balance between a crescent-shaped comb rising from a rounded bowl and a swept brim drawn up to points at the front and back (Figure 1). For many it evokes the swashbuckling Spanish conquistador, an image reinforced by Hollywood films such as The Captain from Castile (1947), and echoed in objects like the stream-lined hood ornament on the 1951 De Soto (Figure 2). Although the morion has become an essential prop in period dramas, neither its design—an ingenious interplay between form and function—nor its cul- tural resonance are fully understood or appreciated. As a light and serviceable head piece, the morion was so successful that it can be considered the first international helmet form, adopted by sixteenth-century men-at-arms, merchants, and colonists from Sweden to Italy and from Portugal to Eastern Austria. Excavated remains of late six- teenth-early seventeenth century morions have been found Figure 1.
