Touching the Void: The museological implications of theft on public art collections Jillian Seaton Ph.D. University of Edinburgh 2014 Abstract Of central importance to this thesis is the way security measures contradict the process through which museums have been seeking to divest themselves of theoretical hierarchies and value judgments in recent years. A context for investigation is established that considers how a perceptible increase in art theft, complicated by the escalating value of individual objects and the proliferation of museums as represented by a rise in attendance figures has produced a climate of vulnerability for arts collections around the world. In response, museums are installing unprecedented levels of security that are having a significant impact on established viewing conditions and redefining museum space. Further hindering this situation is the disparity between the fields of museology and museum security.

  • Årsberetning 2012 Lokaltrafikkhistorisk Forening 1
    Årsberetning 2012 Lokaltrafikkhistorisk forening 1 Forord Mens året 2011 var preget av den store flytteprosessen fra Avløs til våre nye depoter, har 2012 stått i konsoli- deringens navn. Vi har nå etablert oss på våre nye baser med vogner og utstyr. Rodeløkken Maskinverksted er nå blitt LTFs hovedbøl. Det er herfra LTF administreres. Samtidig er Vognhall 5 utviklet til å bli et bedre mu- seum. For publikum merkes dette først og fremst gjennom den nye foajeen. For museumsvaktene er det blitt et bedre sted å jobbe. Den store endringen har vært på museumssiden. Fra og med årsskiftet 2012/13 har Ruter formelt overtatt museet. Dette er først og fremst et teknisk spørsmål. Det er fortsatt LTF som driver museet. Våre inntekter av museumsdriften er heller ikke endret. Et resultat av at vi har fått flere baser for vår virksomhet er at det administrative arbeidet er økt. Dette be- slaglegger en betydelig del av vår kapasitet. Momsregnskap på museumstjenester bidrar også til at de admi- nistrative byrdene etter hvert er blitt betydelige. Dette er et problem siden få melder seg inn i en forening som LTF for å beregne momssatser. At Ruter nå har overtatt museet, kan hjelpe noe på dette. Å forvalte forholdet til huseierne er blitt en betydelig oppgave, og i mange tilfeller en utfordring. De årlige omkostningene til EU-kontroll, forsikring og vedlikehold sammen med dyr garasjering i Oslo har ført til at vi har måttet redusere antallet registrerte busser til et minimum. Dette er ikke heldig. Vi har i samarbeid med Ruter og KTP arbeidet med å utvikle et helt nytt museumskonsept.
