O dia 4 da #MuseumWeek teve, como tema, #BehindtheArt, promovendo o edifício que sustenta a obra exposta. Desfilaram as imagens de edifícios evidenciando um uso anterior à função museológica, historiografias da arquitetura dos museus, salas e vitrinas ainda vazias ou museografias arcaicas… Foi um dia de viagens ao passado, com fragmentos de uma história ignorada ou esquecida.Na minha leitura, hoje, dominaram os museus ingleses, pela lógica e adequação dos conteúdos que propuseram.A história do British Museu foi traçada da Montagu House à cúpula de Foster.British Museum ‏@britishmuseum The first home of the British Museum was Montagu House, built in 1686 #BehindTheArt http://ow.ly/v2TwN  pic.twitter.com/9IJVObdSo7[caption id="attachment_284" align="alignnone" width="300"] @britishmuseum[/caption]British Museum‏@britishmuseumIn the old museum at Montagu House there were stuffed giraffes on the staircase! #BehindTheArt pic.twitter.com/6jGCB0v8QR[caption id="attachment_281" align="alignnone" width="300"] @britishmuseum[/caption]British Museum ‏@britishmuseumSir Robert Smirke's famous façade was completed in 1847.
