Hierzu wurden Standards für den Aufbau und den Betrieb eines solchen multimedialen Museums entwickelt. Zentrales Element der Ausstellung ist die Mobilität der einzelnen Module und die stringente Ausrichtung auf die Bedürfnisse der Zielgruppen. Das Konzept des mobilen Museums ermöglicht eine jugendgerechte Wissensvermittlung unter Einbeziehung spielerischer Ansätze, die eine Möglichkeit der direkten Teilnahme bietet. So wird die mobile Ausstellung attraktiver und die User Experience gesteigert.

Visual identity and Indigenous tourism: power, authenticity, hybridity and the Osoyoos Indian Band's Nk'Mip Desert Cultural Centre

In the case of Indigenous tourism, a paradox often exists between maintaining a level of recognition and familiarity that mirror the expectations of the public imagination, and conveying a representation that is locally meaningful and emblematic. Investigation into the visual representation and communication of identity through tourism is a means to illustrate three overlapping issues that are prevalent throughout the literature on Indigenous tourism. These are: control, authenticity, and hybridity. This research project addresses these issues through an extensive review of anthropological and tourism-related literature and its application to the specific case study of one Indigenous tourism business, the Nk’Mip Desert Cultural Centre (NDCC), owned and operated by the Osoyoos Indian Band (OIB) in Osoyoos, British Columbia (BC), Canada. Semiotic and visual analyses are used to elucidate the messages about OIB identity communicated through the Centre’s visuals, in order to bring the example of the OIB and NDCC into conversation with the larger issues found within Indigenous tourism.

We used the perspectives of assemblage and co-composition as frameworks to rethink participation in museums. The design experiment’s aim was to give visitors an experience of the uncertainties and doubts of historical knowledge creation by inviting visitors to participate in solving dilemmas and filling gaps in the reconstruction of a Viking boat. We introduced three design concepts in our lab-based exhibition experiment—collecting, reflecting and sharing—to capture the social interactions and collaborative media production that enacts the exhibition assembly. We conclude that visitors’ reflections may evolve through participatory activities of collecting and sharing, and social media may open possibilities for new types of interpretation and learning activities in museum exhibitions.

We explore social media and mobile phones to engage teens in participation during museum visits in the form of co-creation and contribution of content. In an experimental set-up at the Viking Ship Museum in Oslo, we asked a group of 13-year olds to explore and share reflections on issues related to Viking ships with mobile phones and visitor blog. The youths exploration of the exhibition became more engaging with the mobile phone, and we discuss how integration of the blog in the museum visit could have been more related to the teens’ on-going activities outside the museum and how their communication and participation could be fostered through the museum.
