Paperback. Condition: New. The Toxic Museum examines the use of pesticides in German museum collections at the end of the 19th and early 20th centuries.It reconstructs the research of substances against harmful insects in museum collections within the historical context of the formation of nation-states, colonialism, a strengthening chemical industry, the First World War, and the resulting broad-based hygiene movement through the lens of the Ethnologisches Museum (Ethnological Museum) in Berlin. Because of their persistence, the consequences of the use of pesticides in museum collections are now unmistakable and well documented in many places. Numerous objects are highly contaminated and are only accessible under difficult conditions regarding occupational health and safety. This creates obstacles for conservation and scientific processing, as well as for mediation in the context of exhibitions and external loans. The most precarious and difficult situations arise when contaminated museum objects are repatriated to their countries of origin. This monograph examines contemporary challenges in the 21st century museum landscape and contextualises the history of pesticide use at the turn of the 20th century.The Toxic Museum will be of great interest to students and scholars working in conservation, museology, monument preservation, art and cultural studies, ethnology, history, and economics.…

fester Einband. 326 S., Abb. u. Tab. Kart. *Das vorliegende Buch rekonstruiert die Erforschung von Substanzen gegen Schadinsekten in Museumsbeständen vor dem historischen Kontext der Heranbildung von Nationalstaaten, des Kolonialismus, einer erstarkenden chemischen Industrie, des Ersten Weltkriegs sowie der daraus entstandenen und breit angelegten Hygienebewegung. Das in den Museen vorhandene Wissen wird dabei in Beziehung zu Gesellschaft, Industrie und Handel gesetzt. Darauf basierend zeichnen sich frühe Formen von Vernetzung und Wissenstransfer unter Museumsfachleuten national und international ab. Nur so erlangten bestimmte Mittel während des Ausprobierens im Wortsinn eine gewisse 'Karriere'. Das Ethnologische Museum Berlin erweist sich als bestmögliches Fallbeispiel, da Berlin im Untersuchungszeitraum das größte Zentrum für Wissenschaft und Kunst war. Die Folgen des Einsatzes von Schädlingsbekämpfungsmitteln in musealen Sammlungen sind aufgrund ihrer Persistenz mittlerweile unübersehbar und vielerorts belegt. Zahlreiche Objekte sind durch deren Einsatz hoch kontaminiert und für eine restauratorische und wissenschaftliche Bearbeitung, die Vermittlung im Rahmen von Ausstellungen sowie für den externen Leihverkehr nur unter erschwerten Bedingungen zugänglich.
