'n Museologiese ondersoek na die mens se benutting van die mollusk (skulp en skulpdier) in geselekteerde kunsvorme, vir die doel van die ontwerp van 'n uitstalling

[摘要] ENGLISH ABSTRACT:The aim of this study is to investigate man's use of the mollusk within selected art forms,and to use the research results to design a contemporary museum exhibition, relevantwithin a South African context.Two sections are presented. In section A the selected art forms, fine arts, architecture,furniture design, masks and music and other sound instruments are thoroughly investigatedto determine in what way the mollusk/shell is used in or on these art forms. A largenumber of figures are included to illustrate the available examples, and to aid the reader inthe visualization of these applications.In section B a design solution is presented, based on the research results of section A. Thecompilation of an exhibition team and the whole design process, from the choice of anexhibition theme to the evaluation of the exhibition, is investigated. The exhibitiondesigner plays the important role of interpreting the research results and to compile adesign solution.A wide variety of exhibition techniques are recommended for the design solution,including theatre productions, special lighting and sound effects, demonstrations and tours.A number of figures are included, where photos taken during the museum visitations anddesign sketches provide further insight into the design solution.From the research results it was noted that an educational subject such as the mollusk/shell,can be made timely and attractive for the museum visitor by the use of creative,contemporary and relative exhibition techniques.
