Call for papers: HISTORIC HOUSE MUSEUMS: NORDIC PERSPECTIVES
Submission date October 1st, 2024
The count’s drawing room, Gammel Estrup – The Danish Manor & Estate Museum
Much of the current literature on historic house museums comes from the US or the UK, where many efforts have been made to create overviews, categories, and definitions that clarify a typology for historic house museums and how historic house museums can be understood. The Danish Network for House Museums has however taken the initiative to prepare an anthology on historic house museums in the Nordic countries – Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Greenland, Faroe Islands, and Iceland.
Study at Eidsvoll, Norway
The aim is to shed light on how the Nordic countries understand, define, preserve, exhibit, manage, and communicate about our historic house museums. This includes house museums in the broadest sense of the word – from farmhouses, manor houses, artist homes, bunker museums, open air museums, and other types of historic buildings that have been preserved, and where people have lived for shorter or longer periods of time.
