OM FOREDRAGET
Med et skarpt blik for fortiden og samtidens formidling skærer Mary Beard ind til benet og diskuterer museernes rolle – og deres lange historie med konflikt og kontrovers. For selvom museer i dag er kontroversielle, så er vi ikke den første generation, der oplever dem sådan. Museer er altid blevet betragtet som steder, der rummer fare såvel som læring, historie, undren og bevaring. Man kunne endda sige, at en del af deres formål altid har været at skabe rum for diskussion og uenighed om os selv og fortiden.
Mary Beard udforsker i dette foredrag den lange historie af kontroverser og konflikter i og omkring museer. Det sker delvist gennem fiktion, børnebøger og tegneserier, som fx fantasier om, hvad der kan ske i museet efter lukketid, og satire over museers regler og forskrifter, fx "Må ikke berøres".
Men endnu vigtigere er de debatter, som museets udstillinger har affødt: om magt, historie og ejerskab. Diskussioner om tilbagelevering og om, hvor museumsgenstande egentlig hører hjemme, er ikke kun et moderne, postkolonialt fænomen. Med en række overraskende eksempler viser Mary Beard, hvordan disse stridigheder har fulgt museerne helt siden den moderne museumsbevægelses begyndelse.
OM MARY BEARD
Mary Beard er verdenskendt, klassisk filolog, professor emerita ved University of Cambridge, fellow ved Newnham College og ikke mindst en af de mest markante formidlere af antikkens historie i dag.
Hun har skrevet en række internationalt anerkendte og prisvindende bøger, herunder bestselleren SPQR – A History of Ancient Rome, den anmelderroste Women & Power og senest Emperor of Rome. Mary Beard er derudover en hyppig kommentator i medierne, har sin egen blog og står bag en række BBC radio- og TV-serier om historie og kultur som f.eks. Meet the Romans. Hun har senest lanceret podcasten Instant Classics, hvor hun sammen med Guardian-journalist Charlotte Higgins diskuterer antikkens og nutidens verden.
Mary Beards store indsats for klassisk forskning har sikret hende en plads i bestyrelsen for British Museum samt i 2018 udnævnelse til Dame i Dronning Elizabeth II’s fødselsdagsudmærkelser.

ABOUT THE LECTURE
With a keen eye for the past and contemporary communication, Mary Beard cuts to the bone and discusses the role of museums – and their long history of conflict and controversy. For although museums today are controversial, we are not the first generation to experience them this way. Museums have always been seen as places that contain danger as well as learning, history, wonder and preservation. One could even say that part of their purpose has always been to create space for discussion and disagreement about ourselves and the past.
In this lecture, Mary Beard explores the long history of controversy and conflict in and around museums, partly through fiction, children's books and comics, such as fantasies about what might happen in the museum after closing time, and satire on museum rules and regulations, such as "Do Not Touch".
But even more important are the debates that museum exhibitions have sparked: about power, history, and ownership. Discussions about restitution and where museum objects really belong are not just a modern, postcolonial phenomenon. With a series of surprising examples, Mary Beard shows how these disputes have haunted museums since the beginning of the modern museum movement.
