Heritage & Museums in contemporary society: two (and half) case studies from Croatia
Although from the outside the museum/heritage world may seem static, it is at this moment extremely dynamic. Inclusiveness, co-curating, participatory approach, sustainability and so on are among the most used words in museum/heritage theory and practice today. This lecture will explore these trends foremost by examining two Croatian case-studies. The first is the Museum of Broken Relationships. The MBR is 'off the beaten track' of the museum establishment but is extremely popular among visitors. It both directly and indirectly challenges conventional ideas of the museum by addressing the emotional side as the most important through the catharsis experience it offers to museum donors and its visitors simultaneously. The second case looks at diverse perceptions around museum/heritage related work as it addresses atrocities (difficult heritage). This is done by comparing the interpretation of an ex-war area from the recent (1991-1995) conflict in the SE Europe (Croatia) with the still contested interpretation at another site (WWII memorial and museum of the ex-Nazi concentration camp). By using case-studies, the lecture questions the roles and responsibilities museums and heritage institutions have in contemporary society and attempts to redefine some theoretical elements in human-museum-heritage relations.
