Museum Studies Resources
The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, often referred to as The Guggenheim, opened on October 21, 1959 at 1071 Fifth Avenue on the corner of East 89th Street in the Upper East Side neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. The building was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, though both Guggenheim and Wright would die before the building’s 1959 completion. Since its first day, the Frank Lloyd Wright building has been an iconic space for the display of art as well as a cherished landmark, providing a striking silhouette to countless images, from tourist snapshots to feature films, and becoming an essential part of New York’s architectural landscape.
Visit the Guggenheim museum website for more on the museum’s history, schedule of events, locations and current exhibitions.
Be sure to check out the Museum Worlds website for more on museums, such as exhibit reviews, virtual museum tours, image galleries, and a special Virtual Journal Issue featuring select Museum Studies articles from Berghahn Journals!
While the Guggenheim celebrates its birthday, Berghahn is delighted to present some of our latest Museum Studies titles:
Museums and Collections Series:
This series explores the potential of museum collections to transform our knowledge of the world, and for exhibitions to influence the way in which we view and inhabit that world. It offers essential reading for those involved in all aspects of the museum sphere: curators, researchers, collectors, students and the visiting public.
Indigenous Peoples’ Day
Indigenous Peoples Day reimagines Columbus Day and changes a celebration of colonialism into an opportunity to reveal historical truths to promote Indigenous culture and commemorate the history of indigenous people.
“Learning about the history of Columbus and transforming this day into a celebration of indigenous people and a celebration of social justice … allows us to make a connection between this painful history and the ongoing marginalization, discrimination and poverty that indigenous communities face to this day,” Seattle Councilmember Kshama Sawant said.
Berghahn recognizes the significance of indigenous cultures and is happy to present some of its relevant titles:
FELLOW TRIBESMEN
The Image of Native Americans, National Identity, and Nazi Ideology in Germany
Frank Usbeck
“Usbeck’s study is very impressive. He has collected a great number of facts…[and] presents a most interesting book…An extensive bibliography concludes an important work that is also attractively illustrated.” · AmerIndian Research Continue reading “Indigenous Peoples’ Day”
