GLAM ORGANIZATIONS’ DIGITAL MATURITY INDICATOR: A STATISTICAL APPROACH FOR CAMPANIA MUSEUMS
2019
Digital Maturity is a complex phenomenon, involving vertical as well as horizontal processes throughout firms. Therefore, the use of multidimensional tools represents the most appropriate approach in measuring companies’ digital transformation status (Chanias and Hess, 2016). In recent years, Digital Maturity Models (DMMs)were developed in order to get a current measure of an organization’s as-is digital capability (Deloitte, 2018). However, DMMs’ effectiveness relies purely on raw data without taking into account items’ different difficulties. Moreover, though the vast majority of digital maturity models are mainly focused on manufacturing based organizations, an understanding of the chall…
Redes museales en clave feminista. El caso "Relecturas" = Museum Networks from a Feminist Perspective. The case of «Relecturas»
2020
El artículo se propone analizar como caso de estudio el proyecto «Relecturas. Itinerarios museales en clave de género», nacido en 2017 bajo la coordinación de la Universitat de València con el fin de conectar museos de la ciudad de València y de su área metropolitana a través de itinerarios que ofrezcan relecturas a sus colecciones en clave de género o feminista. Se abordan algunos antecedentes del proyecto, así como su contextualización en un momento aparentemente propicio para la paulatina entrada de las mujeres en los museos. Se exponen los diferentes objetivos y metodologías de trabajo del proyecto, así como los retos que debería afrontar en un futuro para conseguir una mayor consolidac…

Experience consumption: an empirical research in historical house museums
2017
En los últimos años hemos presenciado un rápido incremento del denominado turismo cultural, un tipo de turismo que promueve la herencia de un pasado particularmente significativo para un país. Este tipo de actividad, practicada inicialmente por unas pocas personas se ha convertido en el denominado turismo de masas (Leighton, 2007). Esto sucede porque un número cada vez mayor de personas busca una experiencia única y auténtica como la que puede vivirse al visitar sitios culturales. Algunos autores han subrayado el hecho de que generalmente la búsqueda del pasado a través de los sitios culturales está vinculada a un sentimiento nostálgico común y penetrante hacia épocas pasadas (Goulding, 200…
Dal mare al museo. Il recupero di uno scheletro di stenella striata, Stenella coeruleoalba (Meyen 1833)
2022
In 2021, the Museum of Zoology “P. Doderlein” of the University of Palermo acquired a new specimen, the complete skeleton of Stenella coeruleoalba, a striped dolphin stranded in 2018 in Marinella di Selinunte, Castelvetrano (Sicily, Southern Italy). The project herein described is the result of a collaboration among the Bio-Reconstruction Laboratory of the IAS-CNR of Capo Granitola, the IZS of Palermo, the company Naturaliter and the Museum of Zoology “P. Doderlein”. In Natural History Museums, cetaceans are an excellent tool to facilitate scientific dissemination aimed at the conservation of marine biodiversity. The work herein described is presented as an example of good practices in reco…
Museums as participants in the market game: The political and economic context of the functioning of the museums
2017
Under the influence of contemporary social and political changes, which have resulted in, inter alia, changes in the structure of museum audiences and their expectations, museums have had to implement new practices and tools which were previously not present in their fields of interest. these processes changed the definition of the mission of a contemporary museum and the way of ommunicating with participants of culture. today a museum, like every other institution on the entertainment and leisure market, has to attract recipients of its offer. Museums thus engage in ever more close relationships with the field of economy. Moreover, the model of public financing of culture subjects the acti…
Dziedzictwo (po)górnicze - dylematy i perspektywy
2017
This paper discusses the process of transformation of the (coal) mining heritage from the 1990s up to the present day. It draws attention to the development of new trends related to the conservation and documentation of that heritage. In the last decades, numerous open air museums, tradition parks, monument trails have been created, which, through various forms of activities, encourage people to take interest in the history and traditions associated with mining. Today, the mining heritage has a significant potential, especially in terms of popular forms of tourism (industrial, urban, thematic). Due to institutional and financial support, also on the part of local environments, and a well-de…
A Statistical Approach for A-Posteriori Deployment of Microclimate Sensors in Museums: A Case Study
2022
[EN] The deployment of sensors is the first issue encountered when microclimate monitoring is planned in spaces devoted to the conservation of artworks. Sometimes, the first decision regarding the position of sensors may not be suitable for characterising the microclimate close to climate sensitive artworks or should be revised in light of new circumstances. This paper fits into this context by proposing a rational approach for a posteriori deployment of microclimate sensors in museums where long-term temperature and relative humidity observations were available (here, the Rosenborg Castle, Copenhagen, Denmark). Different statistical tools such as box-and-whisker plots, principal component …

Recovering Sicilian Silk Heritage through Digital Technologies: The Case of Piraino’s Collection
2022
Textile conservation has given rise to small and medium-sized museums, usually with scarce resources. In Sicily, the little evidence that remains of silk production and opulent imports by the rich and powerful local aristocracy is kept in museums, parishes, and other cultural institutions. The documentation, dissemination, and enhancement of such a fragile heritage is today possible by means of technological tools that provide novel means to preserve, analyze, and exploit digital information. In this paper, we present some outcomes of the SILKNOW project, a project that applies computing research to the needs of diverse users (museums, educational institutions, the tourism industry, creativ…
