ABSTRACT

The recent publication of Emotional Heritage resulting from the study of visitor agency in Heritage Sites and Museums opens the way for comparative research and case studies in other contexts than the former British Commonwealth. In this article, the evolution of super-diversity in the Low Countries, and Antwerp in particular, in the twenty-first century is such a case study to urge to move away from that crude concept of visitors and to differentiate more. In European urban contexts, museums face the challenge of connecting the ‘dominant’ ‘culture’/’identity’ represented in their collections with the different ‘cultures’ or ‘identities’ of their target audience. The project team formed a multidisciplinary learning community that created a synergy between art, heritage and education. Three important Antwerp museums participated, providing lessons to secondary students. The museum lessons were developed using the HEM matrix as a multiperspective frame of reference. They were found to appeal to all students in general, and in some respects, the effect of the museum lessons was found to be more positive as the background of the students became more diverse. The project shows that the concept of multiperspectivity is of value to museum strategies addressing an ever more super-diverse urban context.

摘要

最近出版的《情感遗产》(Emotional Heritage) 是对遗产地和博物馆游客机构的研究，为在前英联邦以外的其他背景下进行比较研究和案例研究开辟了道路。在这篇文章中，21 世纪低地国家特别是安特卫普的超级多样性的演变就是这样一个案例研究，旨在敦促摆脱粗俗的游客概念并进行更多区分。在欧洲城市环境中，博物馆面临着将其藏品中所代表的“主导”“文化”/“身份”与其目标受众的不同“文化”或“身份”联系起来的挑战。项目团队形成了一个多学科学习社区，在艺术、遗产和教育之间创造了协同作用。三个重要的安特卫普博物馆参加，为中学生提供课程。博物馆课程是使用 HEM 矩阵作为多视角参考框架开发的。他们被发现对所有学生都有吸引力，并且在某些方面，随着学生的背景变得更加多样化，博物馆课程的效果被发现更加积极。该项目表明，多视角的概念对于应对日益多样化的城市环境的博物馆战略具有价值。
