CFP: "Histories of museology", Art History Supplement, May 2013 "Histories of museology" Art History Supplement, Issue 3.3, May 2013Submission deadline: April 15, 2013 Latest technological developments and advances enable us to reconstruct up to some point previous exhibitions and make them available to a global audience for pleasure or research.

Is online, hence digital, curating different from web design? What could be the impact to museum studies, in general, the existence of two simultaneous versions of the same exhibition (the one in the natural exhibition space of a “museum” and the other “in vitro”, in the digital world)? By “museum studies” I refer to the several disciplines found under the umbrella term of museology, ex., history of museums, curating, museum architectural design, museum communication (aka museum education), museum or heritage management, etc.Please refer to Author’s guidelines for more information at our website http://www.arths.org.uk/about/journal/author-s-guidelines.
