Author(s): Michal Uhrin / Language(s): Slovak Issue: 2/2016

Slovensko a Slovinsko sú dve krajiny, ktoré spája nielen veľmi podobný a často zamieňaný názov, ale aj spoločné kultúrne črty, historické míľniky či podobnosti v spôsobe života. Výstava Slovensko-Slovinská Dimenzia prináša pohľad na viaceré podobnosti, ako aj rozdielnosti v živote a histórii Slovenska a Slovinska.

Author(s): Jan Dolák / Language(s): Czech Issue: 2/2016

Kdo zavítá do půvabného města Liptovský Mikuláš, je kvalitním městským orientačním systémem (kéž by se třeba Bratislava či Trnava inspirovaly) veden až k budově instituce s poněkud složitým názvem Slovenské múzeum ochrany prírody a jaskyniarstva, prostě SMOPAJ. Muzeum vzniklo v roce 1930 jako Muzeum slovenského krasu zaměřené hlavně na krasovou problematiku Slovenska. Od 80. let 20. století rozšířilo svoji působnost i na oblast živé přírody, hlavně na historii územní druhové ochrany na území Slovenska, v čemž je na Slovensku jedinečné.

Aspecte privind degradarea suprafețelor cu poleiri metalice – Icoana împărătească Sf. Nicolae pe tron (secolul al XVIII-lea)

Author(s): Alina Ștefania Buterez / Language(s): Romanian Issue: X/2017

Metal leaf is a special material of a different nature unlike the other materials that make up an icon, therefore its conservation and restoration requires additional specialized information. The most important metals used in icons are gold and silver, each having a special significance and transmitting certain meanings and beliefs. Polished surfaces have a very specific way of reacting to deterioration factors, so that any intervention on such a surface requires increased attention and prior research. Metal leaf does not appear as an independent element; it is in a continuous interaction with the other components of the icon influencing and conditioning each other. Restoration interventions have certain peculiarities when applied to surfaces with metallic polish. The restoration methodology must be adjusted to suit the needs of such surfaces.Considering the fact that icon painting techniques in the Romanian Principalities in the second part of the medieval era included the frequent and even expansive use of gold leaf, the research of their degradation becomes extremely important in the restoration process.

Scientific Novelty. The scientific novelty of the research is to analyse the latest regulatory documents and promising areas of public administration in the museum affairs. Conclusions.

КУЛЬТУРНІ ПРАКТИКИ ДЛЯ ДІТЕЙ У ХУДОЖНІХ МУЗЕЯХ США

Author(s): Olena Mykolayivna Goncharova / Language(s): Ukrainian Issue: 1/2018

The purpose of the article is to introduce analytically processed and generalized information about cultural practices of US аrt museums which is focused on children into the national cultural discourse. The methodology consists of such methods as analysis and synthesis, comparative as well as the physical observation method. The scientific novelty of work is to increase knowledge about the cultural practices of US art museums, which is focused on children. Unlike the European art museums, which until the last were far from this age category, some US art museums from the very beginning of their formation took into account the children's audience, and some museums generally viewed it as their target segment, and some consider working with children and adolescents as the main component of their mission (for example – Cleveland Museum of Art). The Art Institute of Chicago has differentiated museums programmes for children of different ages, from children aged 1.5 and graduating college students and universities. The Smithsonian American Art Institute has the separate department for the art communication for Afro-Americans, who come to him with the whole family to strengthen his identity, and to give his children the cultural traditions of their families and regions of origin. Participation in such cultural communication with the help of artifacts of museums for children is considered to be a crucial factor in the formation of the perception of the carriers of other cultural identities by the ideology "Different flowers on one flowerbed." Similar museum practices are based on a number of conceptual foundations: the concept of learning through the game, the idea of the formation of tolerance by means of artistic communication, the concept of an art museum as a cultural center of family leisure, the idea of informal education by means of art, the concept of strengthening its own ethnocultural identity of the child by means of art. Conclusions. Familiarity with practices that oriented on children by American art museums provides an opportunity for Ukrainian art museums to introduce similar methods to work with children's audiences.
