The HNM Semmelweis Museum of Medical History's exhibition „Diseases for the Ages, What the Deceased Tell Us”, is displaying the anthropological collection of the Museum which never was presented earlier, and the mummy-research made in the framework of the Nephthys Project, with some additional material from the Hungarian Natural History Museum and the Hopp Ferenc Asian Art Museum. Visitors can learn about the appearance of known and little-known diseases visible on archaeological human remains and gain insight into the know-how and the results of the mummy research. The exhibition is accompanied by a museum educational program and a series of lectures.

Value Decomposition

Glass cockpits pose a novel problem in Information Presentation Format (IPF) optimization since they invariably carry more formats than they can present any given time. In addition to optimizing individual formats and the static layout of sets of formats for information presentation, designers must now concern themselves with optimizing the overall set of formats from which a subset is drawn for presentation at any given time. Fortunately, quantitative knowledge representations and reasoning techniques, deriving primarily from research in the Pilot's Associate programs, enable the use of sophisticated mathematical analysis techniques for addressing this problem quickly and easily. We present initial work on the use of Singular Value Decomposition techniques for analyzing the “fit” between the information presenting capabilities of a set of IPFs and the information needs of a set of piloting tasks and show how this technique can be used to provide design recommendations for the global set of IPFs available for presentation in the cockpit.

AbstractMuseum visitors are not reflective of the diversity present in communities around the nation. In this study, we investigate the racial and ethnic diversity of art museum participants as well as the potential motivations and barriers to visiting a museum. Using the General Social Survey, we examine race and ethnicity and arts participation in the USA. We find Black individuals are less likely to attend an art museum than white individuals. Certain motivations and barriers to participating may explain part of the lack of diversity. We find Black and Latinx individuals are motivated to participate in art museums for cultural heritage reasons more than white individuals, but race and ethnicity are unrelated to perceiving admission fees as a barrier. This research highlights the urgency in the field to make museums more inclusive.

The Way

In the establishment of people’s lifestyles, places, and especially cities, havebecome central arenas for display and consumption, and have become part ofthe aesthetic experience itself. These changes have affected the composition ofcultural capital, which may have then taken an urban dimension. Art museumvisitors, often associated with highbrow culture, constitute an excellent case studyto explore the links between cultural capital and place. Based on a survey of 1900visitors of the six main museums of modern and contemporary art in Belgium,this article will focus on the distribution of the audience characterized by theircultural tastes and activities across the Belgian territory (through their postcodes).It shows that visitors mainly come from areas with high and moderate densityand that the socio-demographic but also urban characteristics of their place ofresidence can be related to the way visitors’ cultural capital is composed. Yet,it also suggests that places like cities (just like museums) form meeting places,in which co-exist and interact different stories, different trajectories and, as thisarticle shows, a multiplicity of lifestyles.Keywords: Museum visitors; Pierre Bourdieu; cultural capital; audiences; Belgium.
