seminar: how do museums write the history of the welfare city?<\/h1>\n<\/div><\/section>\n

In 2021, a new transdisciplinary, international, IRFD-funded research network was launched by a group of researchers from the Aarhus School of Architecture. The purpose of the network is to examine the representation of the welfare city in mass media. In an upcoming seminar on 9 and 10 March 2023 at ArkDes in Stockholm, the Swedish Centre for Architecture and Design, the network will discuss the role of the museum in society with a focus on how museums write history and why they write it the way they do.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n

\u2018ArkDes holds Sweden\u2019s largest collection of architectural representations\u2014made up of over 500,000 photographs, 2,000 architectural models, and 4 million drawings, sketches, and other documents. The network collaborates with this culture-bearing and -defining institution, because it has a major national and international responsibility for the dissemination and the concept of architecture. We in the network are interested in knowing what the curators, researchers, and management at this museum think about the legacy of the Nordic welfare state, and how the welfare city and its architecture are presented and represented in the museum\u2019s collections and exhibitions\u2019, says associate professor and network project leader Anne Elisabeth Toft from the Aarhus School of Architecture.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>
