The impact of contextual information on aesthetic engagement of artworks by Kohinoor M. Darda, Anjan Chatterjee

“…In sum, along-with theories of empirical and neuro-aesthetics, the current findings also have implications for aesthetics education and museum curation. It seems crucial to consider the type of artwork, the type of contextual information, its potential to enhance aesthetic experience, and the curatorial background of the museum or exhibition, as well as individual differences of viewers. …”

Lazarus in the museum: resurrecting historic specimens through new technology by Sumner-Rooney, L, Sigwart, J

“…These methods are revolutionizing our use of museum collections and reinventing their role in modern morphological research, which comes at a time of increasing threat to collections and museum curation funding. Future innovations in imaging and non-invasive analyses will doubtless accelerate the renewed research efforts dedicated to existing specimens. …”

Ivory as an important model bio-composite by Vollrath, F, Mi, R, Shah, DU

“…Elephant ivory (which is the most important ivory traded even now) is a dense, multifaceted bone-like material of rather complex 3-dimensional construction and levels of porosity. Museum curators and antiquarians care about these properties of ivory for two reasons: regarding its historical value as material (in the sense of workable substance) and concerning its requirements for preservation and display.…”

Alutiiq Fish Skin Traditions: Connecting Communities in the COVID-19 Era by Elisa Palomino, June Pardue

“…Brought into the digital age, the fish skin workshops strengthened connections among Alutiiq and Alaskan craftspeople while establishing new connections with an expanded network of fashion designers, museum curators, conservators and tanners. Finally, the paper highlights how fish skin Indigenous practices address the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) regarding poverty, health and well-being, gender equality, clean water and sanitation, decent work and economic growth, social inequality, responsible consumption and production, climate change and maritime issues.…”

3D DIGITIZATION OF AN HERITAGE MASTERPIECE - A CRITICAL ANALYSIS ON QUALITY ASSESSMENT by F. Menna, E. Nocerino, F. Remondino, M. Dellepiane, M. Callieri, R. Scopigno

“…The very short time available for the digitization was a crucial constraint for the surveying operations (due to constraints imposed us by the museum curators). Despite very high-resolution and detailed 3D models have been produced, a metric comparison between the two models shows intrinsic limitations of each technique that should be overcome through suitable onsite metric verification procedures as well as a proper processing workflow.…”

Unnecessary splitting of genus-level clades reduces taxonomic stability in amphibians by Stephen Mahony, Rachunliu G. Kamei, Rafe M. Brown, Kin Onn Chan

“…We reassess the original claims of diagnosability and justifications for splitting and argue that in many cases, the generic splitting of clades is not only unnecessary but also destabilizes amphibian taxonomy, leading to a host of downstream issues that affect categories of the user community (stakeholders such as taxonomists, conservationists, evolutionary biologists, biogeographers, museum curators, educators, and the lay public). As an alternative, we advocate for the use of the subgenus rank in some cases, which can be implemented to establish informative partitions for future research without compromising on information content, while avoiding gratuitous (and often transient) large-scale binomial (genus-species couplet) rearrangements. …”
