The workshop "Emotional Strategies in Museum Exhibitions" aims to explore the ways in which museums in Europe use emotional strategies within their displays. It will focus particularly on museum displays of twentieth-century conflict and will include a practical component through a visit to the Second World War-era Bunker Valentin. Through the site visit and panels of papers the workshop will address how emotions are addressed and instrumentalised in museum exhibitions. The contributions will focus mostly on national or binational examples. The workshop thus aims to provide participants with the opportunity of seeing their results in a comparative context. Bringing together specialists on museums, cultural memory and history of art the workshop will aim to highlight the (inter)national and (inter)disciplinary similarities and differences in exhibition praxis. The event aims to integrate empirical research with museum and memory theory.
