BOND SWEDEN sooner had we Swedes moved into town until we ran off to Skansen and longed to return. The world's it ebooks first open-air museum was an immediate triumph when it was opened in 1891, including for both left that right there got the answer it ebooks to their dreams.
At the beginning of World War II served the English philosopher Robin George Collingwood on marine intelligence it ebooks which at the time housed in central London, more precisely in the Royal Geographical Society's premises. Collingwood, one of the 1900s truly great philosophers, is today virtually unknown. But in his exceedingly interesting and at the same time easily accessible autobiography suggests several of the ideas more detailed discussion in his now classic "The Idea of History" (1936), "The Principles of Art" (1938) and "An Essay of Metaphysics" (1940) . In his autobiography, modestly entitled "An Autobiography" (1939), Collingwood remember it ebooks how every morning he walked through Kensington Gardens towards the Royal Geographical Society. On the way passed the Albert Memorial which every day became more and more difficult to endure torment for Collingwood. The monument - as well best be described as a kind of grotesque colonial kitsch - did Collingwood more and more distressed, it ebooks and for a time he could not even bring himself to look at the misery. Days passed and finally he decided it ebooks to really look at the monument and then also articulate his question: how did Gilbert Scott create something so undeniable and indefensible bad? This question actually it ebooks came to be the very entrance in Collingwood's interpretation theory. For we can, he said, never understand a serious expression it ebooks unless we first have clear about what it is sort of underlying issue that phrase, eg Scott grisly monument, trying to articulate or respond. This question-and-answer logic later developed into a comprehensive hermeneutic for understanding the foremost art and history, but really meant all human expression. it ebooks A central concept for him became reenactment immediately be interpreted as a kind of skill; it comes to us through the imagination to recreate the thoughts and emotions that led to the expression or the object that we are surprised at. I have not been able to stop thinking about Robin George Collingwood on reading the museum official Stone Rentzhogs monumental it ebooks open-air museums. A Scandinavian idea conquers the world (Carlsson, 528 s). The author has an extensive background in cultural history museum activities. He has been head of the Nordic Museum and worked at several county museums, it ebooks particularly at the open air museum Jamtli in Östersund. Now Rentzhog made it before writing it ebooks a biography of open-air museums, it is thus a practical total museum man who made the pen, rather than a theory of gravity and politically motivated museolog. Slightly simplified, Rentzhogs fact-filled it ebooks and at times argument rich chronicle of open-air museums are divided into three sections. it ebooks In the first story of Skansen, secondly the creation of smaller Skansen copies around the Nordic region, and third, open-air museums in the world, mainly in Europe and the United States. To speak of copies of Skansen may perhaps seem a tad demeaning, but Skansen's importance has been infinitely greater than what most people probably think. And to get the meaning of Skansen it ebooks on the tracks is probably no better way than with Collingwood wonder: what is the answer to Skansen kind of question? The story of Skansen starts with Arthur Hazelius (1833-1901), who founded the Nordic Museum in 1873. Museum came into existence in the best national romantic spirit is actually the world's first really big Folklore Museum. Purely amazing amount of bobs, appliances, costumes and much more collected, but the really interesting thing was that the new museum expressed a kind of democratization of the story. Not just castles tapestries, ancient armor and mighty kalescher would be preserved for the future, but also the peasantry gäddsaxar, näverkontar and worn-orv. But Hazelius wanted more. Above all, he wanted to bring to life the collected objects by putting them in their proper it ebooks context. It was, in short, to try to make sense of the story by making it concrete and, in the literal sense, palpable. That was the challenge out and Skansen, inaugurated in October 1891, was the answer. The success was enormous, both in Sweden it ebooks and internationally. Thus praises author Louis Pass Argentina Skansen in a German travelogue from 1897. Hazelius has gifted the Swedes with "a living Pompeii" he writes. For the people of Stockholm Skansen soon became the obvious goal for the Sunday outing, and for the visiting school children from the rest of the country was Skansen, together with the Royal Palace, it ebooks the capital's most alluring destinations. Probably it is well so to this day. Hazelius idea, with time, become so successful that it has become a household word. In many Slavic languages means Skanzen open air museum. it ebooks And the reason is easily understood: Skansen was the world's first open-air museum. With the peculiar among lodge
