• W2047931497 abstract "T HE University Museum in Philadelphia had the temporary problem of attracting visitors while the exhibits were being reorganized six years ago. Several of the main halls had been closed off for preparation of new displays, and in the meantime there were only the permanent exhibits in which the objects had not been changed for a long time. Something was clearly needed both to attract newcomers and to provide interest and variety for the habitual visitors, who naturally wanted to see new things when they returned to the museum. To meet this situation, I arranged a special series of small shows under the general title Exhibit of the Month. These turned out so successfully that a brief account of our experiences with the project may prove useful to other museum staff members faced with similar problems. Many museums, particularly art museums, have an Exhibit of the Month featuring a single object of special interest, usually some recent acquisition. This is generally displayed under a spotlight, with a label telling why it has been selected as worthy of special attention. However, the emphasis tends to be placed on the objects themselves rather than on any ideas which they might convey. Acting on the assumption that the aim of a university museum is primarily to educate the viewers, we wanted to give our visitors some ideas to carry away, as well as something new to look at. At the same time, we wanted to provide a simple introduction to the museum as a whole. Lastly, we had to avoid expense, since the exhibition funds and other resources were being devoted to redecorating the new halls. These various requirements were satisfied by placing a single desk case (33X 95) in the entrance hall of the museum, and arranging in it small groups of objects which would present a comprehensive display on a single theme. The presentation usually stressed some one entity-in the form of tool, utensil or substance, or some aspect of material culture-as it is found in different parts of the world, and compared or contrasted local variations. Objects were drawn from as many as possible of the areas and periods represented in the permanent galleries, which are largely arranged by geographical or cultural areas. Small individual labels identified each object, while a general label in larger type told the story which provided the basis of unity. In this way we hoped to induce museum visitors to learn to make comparisons for themselves, and to look for the many traits that various civilizations have had in common. Some of the exhibits were centered on substances that have had a far wider" @default.
