that it is necessary for you to use widely varied techniques. A method has to be chosen so that you can attack the dirt
without attacking the object. Sometimes mechanical methods can be used, mechinical force being used to break the bond
between the dirt and the object. In a shipyard for example, a pneumatic hammer might be used to remove rust. This quite
obviously constitutes a brutal attack (though in this case, justifIed by the scale of the job): However, all the other, far more

during cleaning, A dirty object is one on to which extra material has moved; cleaning is the business of re‐moving that extra
material. One class of cleaning techniques, those called mechanical, have in common the method of getting the dirt to
move. All involve arranging a collision between the dirt and some material object. As an analogy think of a sculptor who
uses a variety of tools to remove the superfluous stone (dirt) to reveal the desired form (object). Points and chisels of
increasing fineness are made to collide with the surface and it is hoped that, with each blow, nothing more than the
unwanted material will be struck off. When cleaning an object consider the following questions. Can you arrange only to hit
the dirt? Answer – no. Will hitting the object damage it? Answer – yes. Will the dirt part from the object cleanly? Answer –

both, and although the dirt may come off you can guarantee that some traces of the chemical you have used will have
worked their way into the object. Again, minute damage – but it is there. The useful thing about using chemical collisions is
that they can be chosen to be highly selective; you can arrange to do far greater damage to the dirt than to the object,

Topic:‐ 66Mus_C

1) The term museography first appeared in the 18th century (Neikel, 1727) and is older than the word museology. It has
three specific meanings:

Currently museography is essentially defined as the practical or applied aspect of museology, that is to say the techniques
which have been developed to fulfill museal operations, in particular with regard to the planning and fitting out of the
museum premises, conservation, restoration, security and exhibition.

In contrast to museology, the word museography has long been used to identify the practical activities associated with
museums; The term is regularly used in the French‐speaking world, but rarely in the English‐speaking one, where museum
practice is preferred. Many museologists from Central and Eastern Europe have used the term applied museolpgy, that is to
say, the practical application of techniques resulting from the study of museology, a science undergoing development.

In French the use of the term museography identifies the art (or the techniques) of exhibitions. For some years the term
expography (exhibit design) has been proposed for the techniques involved in exhibitions, whether they are in a museum or
in a non‐museal space. Generally speaking, what we call the ‘museographical programme’ covers definition of the contents
of the exhibition and its requirements, as well as the functional links between the exhibition spaces and the other museum
areas. This definition does not mean that museography (museum practice) is defined only by that part of the museum which
is seen by the visitor.

Museographers (museum designers or exhibit designers), like other museum professionals, take into account the scientific
programme and collection management and aim to display the objects selected by the curator in a suitable manner. They
must know methods of conservation and how to inventorize museum objects. They create the scenario for the contents and
propose a form of language which includes additional media to aid understanding. They are concerned with the needs of
the public and employ the communication methods most suitable for putting across the message of the exhibition. Their
role, often as the head of a project, is to coordinate all the scientific and technical specialists working within a museum:
organising them, sometimes clashing with them and arbitrating.

According to the passage, French speaking countries use which of the following words to identify the practical or applied
aspect of museology

(1) Museum science (2) Museal operations

(3) Scenography (4) Museography

2) The term museography first appeared in the 18th century (Neikel, 1727) and is older than the word museology. It has
three specific meanings:

Currently museography is essentially defined as the practical or applied aspect of museology, that is to say the techniques
which have been developed to fulfill museal operations, in particular with regard to the planning and fitting out of the
museum premises, conservation, restoration, security and exhibition.

In contrast to museology, the word museography has long been used to identify the practical activities associated with
museums; The term is regularly used in the French‐speaking world, but rarely in the English‐speaking one, where museum
practice is preferred. Many museologists from Central and Eastern Europe have used the term applied museolpgy, that is to
say, the practical application of techniques resulting from the study of museology, a science undergoing development.

1) Read the passage carefully and answer the question that follow

India is one of the world’s largest repositories of music, dance, theatre, folk traditions, songs, performing arts, rites and

rituals, paintings and writings that are known, collectively as ‘‘Intangible Cultural Hertiage’’. India’s cultural heritage is a
source of inspiration to people everywhere. India’s century old cultural exchanges with South East Asia continue to inspire
people‐to‐people relationships. There is a visible impact of the Indian heritage on the scriptures and the way of life of the
people of the Mekong region. There is deep conviction about the Buddhist traits of humility, gentleness, justice and charity.
There are many similarities in languages of the region and Sanskrit. The Panchtantra and Jataka tales are narrated with
great enthusiasm and are part of folklore. The Ramayan culture is visible all across South East Asia.

The common culture binding India with South East Asian Countries apart from Buddhism is the great epic of Ramayana.
Angkor Wat has the great Ramayana Panel depicting the battle between Vanaras and the Asuras. SAARC remains an
important component of India’s cultural diplomacy representing multilateralism and people to people contacts. People to
people exchanges are being promoted amongst the BRICS countries with the BRICS Culture Ministers meetings laying down
the road map for collaboration. Cultural exchanges amongst the Member Nations of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation is
also being actively promoted in the fields of tourism, education, science, archeology, music, dance and yoga.

India’s soft power status varies with the regions. In South East Asia, Buddhism links India to the people of the region.

In the Indian Ocean countries, Project Mausam (the monsoon) linked the people to common traits. There are several new
links that have emerged – cricket ties with Australia and South Africa represented by Cricket connects exhibitions. The
