The Quiet curator

is in this fall's recession.
is vain search of museum visitors to so-called blockbusters. Exhibitions, for which the waiting lines wind around the Haeuserblock. The first blockbuster exhibition in 1976 held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. "King Tut" drew more than 8 million visitors. Today plan museums at least one blockbuster exhibition in the year. Monet, Picasso and again King Tut. This attracts the masses and it is hoped to gain new friends for the museum.
blockbusters are usually associated with unusually large costs. Transport, security and marketing are some of the costs incurred before the first visitor enters the Ausstellunbg at all. In large houses there are six or seven-figure sums that are incurred before a ticket is sold.
museums, like other cultural institutions will see a decline in donations from foundations and private individuals, sponsors and the loss of endowment. Layoffs, shorter opening hours and extension of the exhibitions are observed everywhere. Since no money for the expensive start-up financing of blockbusters.
What then? The answer lies in our own house. Jacqueline Trescott in the Washington Post watched as curators throughout Washington rose in their deposits in order to view its treasures. Meistersuecke top flight since come to light, and visitors will be presented in a new light. "Making the permanent exhibition to the special aims, but in any secret," says Earl "Rusty" Powell III, director of the nationall Gallery.
is also in other places zusammengestueckelt. The Metropolitan Museum of Art borrows Vermeer "Milchmaedchen" and presented it with its own five Vermeers. The Art Insitute of Chicago borrows Caravaggio "Supper at Emmaus" and it combines with other images from the vicinity of the artist.
Brent Glass, director of the National Museum of American History to explain that they have found for the proposed exhibition about America's economy so far no sponsor ". We plan more, but may have to show the exhibition in several phases we do not give up."
scarcity leads to greater creativity. This is known artists and curators. The recession will cause a variety of new and unusual partnerships. The National Portrait Gallery, says chief curator Frank Goodyear, some images of famous news anchors were provided for the audio guides. "The claim any penny."
