Tourism, Im/mobility and the University Collections in Norway, 1870–1914
This article explores the cultural collections at Det Kongelige Frederiks Universitet in Christiania (now Oslo) from the perspective of German-language tourists between the 1870s and 1914. It takes for its starting point the early history of tourism and museum collections as a story of the entanglement of the mobile and the immobile, of movement and stoppage. It argues that examining this entanglement provides insight into the complex processes o…

Cruise Tourists in Spitsbergen around 1900

Its objective is to investigate how an Arctic tourism discourse emerged around 1900 and what its central characteristics were.

Hva kommuniseres i forfattermuseer
Writers’ museums often privilege the biographical person of the author rather than their literary works. Here we present a model which can be used not only as a method of analysis, but also as as an inspiration that can help create productive tensions in the exhibition of biography and works in author museums. Our departure point is that the writer’s museum is a double act of communication, or more precisely a museal act of communication about a …

Expeditions as Experiments
This introduction focuses on different forms of expeditions and their role in the process of knowledge acquisition from the eighteenth century onwards, it investigates the various forms of scientific practices conducted during, after and before expeditions, and it places this discussion into the scientific context of experiments. Taking as our starting point the heuristic tool of expeditions as experiments, we propose that the expedition is also …

Between Spectacle and Science
The article discusses the return and reception of two Austro-Hungarian arctic expeditions in 1874 and 1883, respectively. Both expeditions conducted extensive auroral research. The article focuses on the media discourse of the time: how the expeditions including their scientific aims and outcomes were perceived in the Viennese press and society. The reception given to each of the expeditions and the manner by which each was covered in the press d…
Explorers’ Bodies in Arctic Mediascapes
This article investigates the welcoming receptions held on the return of the Austro-Hungarian Polar Expedition (1872–1874) as part of a Scandinavian and Central European discourse of the Arctic and of Arctic exploration. Also called the Payer–Weyprecht or Tegetthoff Expedition, it was subjected to a long series of such public celebrations on its way home to Austria–Hungary via Norway, Sweden and Germany. While our access to these celebrations is …
Exhibiting Mozart – Rethinking Biography
The article analyses the new permanent exhibition in the composer Wolfgang A. Mozart’s apartment in Vienna, opened in 2006, from the curator’s perspective. The exhibition presents an approach to biographical display in which the exhibited person becomes part of a multifaceted web of contexts, and the article argues for the active deployment of the polysemic character of objects as a means of grasping the complexity of a person’s biography. Presen…
