Diese gelangen nicht in den Buchhandel und werden nur auf begründete Anfrage abgegeben. Eine Liste der lieferbaren Materialien- Hefte (ISSN 0931-7981), Sonderhefte der Materialien (ISSN 0931-4641) und 'Mitteilungen und Berichte' (ISSN 1436-4166) befindet sich am Ende dieses Heftes. Foreword With this publication, the Institut für Museumskunde publishes results of a European Working Group which first met 1995 and since then is engaged in collecting and exchanging museum-related data from all over Europe. The group includes representatives of those institutions which are responsible for producing the statistics in their countries as well as policy makers from related ministries. This publication would not have been possible without the engagement of representatives from 23 European countries and we would like to thank all our colleagues for their work. For us, bringing closer the existing wide range of available statistical information on museums in Europe is one of our aims, we therefore have been and still are organising the annual autumn meetings in Berlin. Special thanks go to the Ministry of Culture in Luxemburg, which generously funded the second annual conference of the group, usually held in June in Luxemburg. We know that herewith, we can present only a snap-shot of work in progress which in some cases will be already outdated as soon as the publication is available. However, the EGMUS group is permanently updating the information and a new version is planned for 2007. This present publication will be online available on the website of the Institut für Museumskunde www.smb.spk-berlin.de/ifm and on the website of EGMUS (www.egmus.net).

  • Azerbaijan on the International Arena
    Administrative Department of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan P R E S I D E N T I A L L I B R A R Y Azerbaijan on the international arena Azerbaijan - UN Azerbaijan – European Union Azerbaijan - Council of Europe Azerbaijan - OSCE Azerbaijan - UNESCO Azerbaijan – OIC Azerbaijan – Guam Azerbaijan - NATO 1 Administrative Department of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan P R E S I D E N T I A L L I B R A R Y Azerbaijan on the international arena Azerbaijan has been following an independent foreign policy since gaining independence in 1991. This policy aims at the strengthening and development of the state system and the protection of the national interests of Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan builds its foreign policy on the principle of respect to the international legal standards and norms, the state sovereignty and territorial integrity and the principles of nonintervention into the internal affairs. The foreign policy of Azerbaijan, adhering to these principles and speaking on behalf of the national interests targets such urgent issues as the risks and challenges to the national security and territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of the republic and the prevention of the intervention of the Republic of Armenia. The major priorities of the foreign policy of Azerbaijan are the establishment of the regional peace and stability, the implementation of large transport and cooperation projects. The attraction of the foreign capital to the implementation of different projects on the development of the country's economics for more effective protection of the national interests plays a great role in the foreign policy of Azerbaijan in the present-day world.

  • The Bourse De Commerce — Pinault Collection, a Museum Accessible to Everyone
    The Bourse de Commerce — Pinault Collection, a museum accessible to everyone In the heart of Paris, the Bourse de Commerce — Pinault Collection presents part of the contemporary art collection amassed by François Pinault over the past forty years. In the historic building of the former Bourse de Commerce (com- modities exchange), restored and transformed by Japanese architect Tadao Ando, a dialogue emerges between heritage and contemporary creation. Through the prism of a collector’s gaze on the art of today and in an effort to increase public awareness and understanding, the Bourse de Commerce — Pinault Collection offers regular exhibitions and hangings of contemporary art, with artist com- missions, cartes blanches and a rich programme of cultural events: lectures, screenings, concerts and performances. Open to everyone, the Bourse de Commerce — Pinault Collection strives to offer an accessible and inclusive pro- gramme of events in line with its exhibitions. Finally, the Bourse de Commerce – Pinault Collection is equip- ped with all the necessary facilities to ensure that everyone’s visit is a pleasant and stress-free experience. Certain areas of this listed building with historic monument status are subject to preservation constraints and therefore, do not feature standard accessibility norms. This booklet explains the visiting conditions and resources put at your disposal in order to facilitate your access and visit to the museum.

  • Libeskind's Jewish Museum Berlin
    Encountering empty architecture: Libeskind’s Jewish Museum Berlin Henrik Reeh Preamble In Art Is Not What You Think It Is, Claire Farago and Donald Preziosi observe how the architecture of contemporary museums inspires active relationships between exhibitions and visitors.1 Referring to the 2006 Denver Art Museum by Daniel Libeskind, they show the potentials germinating in a particular building. When artists and curators are invited to dialog with the spaces of this museum, situations of art-in-architecture may occur which go beyond the ordinary confrontation of exhibitions and spectatorship, works and visitors. Libeskind’s museum is no neutral frame in the modernist tradition of the white cube, but a heterogeneous spatiality. These considerations by Farago and Preziosi recall the encounter with earlier museums by Libeskind. Decisive experiences particularly date back to the year 1999 when his Jewish Museum Berlin was complete as a building, long before being inaugurated as an exhibition hall in 2001. Open to the public for guided tours in the meantime, the empty museum was visited by several hundred thousand people who turned a peripheral frame of future exhibitions into the center of their sensory and mental attention. Yet, the Libeskind building was less an object of contemplation than the occasion for an intense exploration of and in space. Confirming modernity’s close connection between exhibition and architecture, Libeskind’s Jewish Museum Berlin unfolds as a strangely dynamic and fragmented process, the moments of which call for elaboration and reflection. I. Architecture/exhibition Throughout modernity, exhibitions and architecture develop in a remarkably close relationship to one another.

  • The Berlin 'Neues Museum' - a Microcosm of Prussian Building Technology Against the Background of Beginning Industrialization
    Transactions on the Built Environment vol 39 © 1999 WIT Press, www.witpress.com, ISSN 1743-3509 The Berlin 'Neues Museum' - a microcosm of Prussian building technology against the background of beginning industrialization W.Lorenz Chair of history of building technology, Brandenburg Technical University, D-03013 Cottbus, Germany email: [email protected] Abstract The 'Neues Museum', situated in the historic center of Berlin, was built between 1841 and 1859. Heavily damaged during world war II and increasingly ruined in the following decades, it is presently awaiting restoration, the plans for which have been drafted by the British architect David Chipperfleld. This paper goes into the role of this masterpiece of Prussian classicism as a high-tech structure in its time, characterized by a wide range of unusual and newly developed construc- tion methods - various light weight brick vaultings as well as hollow pot vaul- tings, but, of primary importance, a multitude of often hidden cast iron and wrought iron structural elements. The building's design and history, as well as the building itself, express a new, forward-looking understanding of construction against the background of the industrial revolution, that includes all of its aspects - the process of building, the produce of building and the challenge in terms of architectural and artistic expression. Now, 150 years after the building's com- pletion, the rebuilding and restoration post new technical challenges, because as many of the historical structures as possible have to be made to perform their functions again, with due consideration given to conservation requirements. 1 Introduction In 1841, just 17 years after the works for the first great Museum in Berlin, desig- ned by the famous Prussian architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel, had begun in 1824, Transactions on the Built Environment vol 39 © 1999 WIT Press, www.witpress.com, ISSN 1743-3509 390 Structural Studies, Repairs and Maintenance of Historical Buildings foundation works for another Royal Museum were started.

We are gratified that many participants from our previous NODEM conferences continue to engage in our interdisciplinary effort to address challenges and opportunities facing museums and cultural heritage institutions. We are proud that participation at NODEM conferences is becoming more global in reach involving culture heritage professionals from South America, Asia and USA. Our highest priority is to provide the most stimulating sessions and exhibitions for sharing know-how, generat- ing ideas and starting collaborations. The primary goal of the NODEM conference Engaging Spaces is to bring together heritage professionals, museum researchers as well as ICT experts from around the world in an open dialogue to discuss the issues facing newly built or renovated museums and other culture-historical institu- tions to stay competitive in engaging today’s visitors. We hope that our diverse and dynamic group of keynote and special session speakers and exhibitors provide new insight about practical tools, engagement models and methods for heritage institutions to become more effective in the on-going development efforts of involving visitors through interpretative content and design and digital strategies. On behalf of NODEM 2014 conference organizers and partners we would like to thank you for choosing to at- tend the NODEM 2014 conference.
