In early twentieth-century Berlin, the museumsdebate was set into
motion with Wilhelm von Bode's sweeping proposal to reorganize a
group of the city's museums. Between 1907 and 1910, two
particularly striking series of articles appeared in the journal
Museumskunde: Journal for the Administration and Technology of
Public and Private Collections. The first was a six-part essay by
Otto Lauffer on history museums and the second was a ten-part piece
by Oswald Richter regarding ethnographic museums, and both
initiated a century of important dialogue. Presented together here
as Collecting, Displaying, and Interpreting Material Culture, these
first full English translations of the two book-length articles
remain unequalled presentations about the different implications of
art, historical, and ethnographic museums. They show how
sophisticated the discussion of museums and museum display was in
the early twentieth century, and how much could be gained from
revisiting these reflections today. Accompanied with short
commentaries by a group of museum professionals, these translations
and associated commentaries allow for an intervention and
intensification of the current level of debate about museums, one
that will further invigorated by the opening of the Humboldt Forum
in Berlin in 2019.
