Book excerpt: 'The National Museum of Man grows out of the landscape and is indiscernible from it. It moves and flows with the contours of the land.' ? Douglas Cardinal. In 1982, the Government of Canada engaged in the design and construction of a new National Museum of Man ? now the Canadian Museum of History, an iconic building on the shores of the Ottawa River. Based on the strength of his vision, Douglas Cardinal was selected from among 12 distinguished finalists as the architect of record. Today, the Canadian Museum of History is the largest and most visited museum in the country, and the building is a must-see destination for tourists visiting the region. In his Design Principles, Cardinal reflects on his vision for the building and its surroundings ? how the grand curvilinear forms allow visitors to feel the Museum's connection with nature. Moving through its spaces is an extraordinarily interesting experience that is truly Canadian.

Download or read book The Museum of Mankind written by Ben Burt and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2019-08-16 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Museum of Mankind was an innovative and popular showcase for minority cultures from around the non-Western world from 1970 to 1997. This memoir is a critical appreciation of its achievements in the various roles of a national museum, of the personalities of its staff and of the issues raised in the representation of exotic cultures. Issues of changing museum theory and practice are raised in a detailed case-study that also focuses on the social life of the museum community. This is the first history of a remarkable museum and a memorable interlude in the long history of one of the world’s oldest and greatest museums. Although not presented as an academic study, it should be useful for museum and cultural studies as a well as a wider readership interested in the British Museum.
