| Popis: | Since 2009 the Danish Agency for Culture has conducted the national museum survey for all national and government approved museums to participate in. The survey has integrated “atmosphere” as an evaluation criterion and has documented that visitors seek and worship such experiences. Atmosphere, however, is intangible and some spaces can evoke atmosphere more than others, due to the way they initiate interplay of the senses beyond language. Museum curators need not know the visitors’ experience of atmosphere in detail to be able to pay attention to atmosphere, but there is a growing need to qualify the understanding of the visitors’ experience of atmosphere to influence the way museums engage in atmosphere as a curatorial means. This article proposes a way to explore the visitors’ experience of atmosphere by combining theories of atmosphere by Gernot Böhme and Juhani Pallasmaa with sensorial anthropology as defined by Tim Ingold and Jo Lee and applying sensory ethnography and the method of the walkalong interview, suggested by Sarah Pink as a method to bring forward the visitors’experience of atmospheric qualities. Faaborg Museum is used as a case and the analysis is based on four walk-along interviews partaken in 2016. |
