Research output: Contribution to conference › Unpublished paper

Abstract

The paper explores the rehoming of the regional heritage collection established by Lady Jean Maitland, house of Dun, Scotland. It expands on museum scholarship by looking at the generators of atmosphere – staging of space and objects, light and sound design, interpretation – of the Angus Folk Collection. I ask: what qualities do atmospheres and the heritage concept of spirit of place share? Can exhibitions convey spirit of place? The paper argues conveying spirit of place is a greater challenge when the site's mission and value remains in a liminal state.
