Succession: The Challenge of Private Museum Futures
About
Join us for this Saturday afternoon Galleries talk with architect and academic Jarrod Haberfield as he explores the notion of ‘succession’ in the arc of the house-museum lifecycle.Looking to international examples we find there's no standard approach for collectors when leaving their homes: at one extreme there’s a collection frozen in time by an act of parliament and at the other, a collection installed in a new building designed to mimic the old building from whence it was moved.
In between these extremes there’s the Lyon Housemuseum, which embraces a tightrope walk between permanence and evolution. The talk coincides with the reopening of the Housemuseum and Galleries - two formerly separate buildings now conjoined.
With a Q&A to follow, we’re assured of a rich discussion on a complex topic, at a very special moment in time.
Ticket includes admission to the current exhibition at the Housemuseum Galleries.
