A new generation of historians and curators have taken over the former Museum of Occupations in Tallinn, Estonia. They renamed the museum and opened a permanent exhibition built less on historical facts than on 'fragments of memory'. Technologically savvy, it challenges not only previous ways of representing Estonia's history of occupations, but also more traditional modes of presenting history in the museum.

The relationship between photography and the way place is interpreted through photographers is discussed, with reference to phenomenological theory, especially the work of Norberg-Schultz. Peter Zumthor's interpretations on memory in terms of architecture are included to establish a link between photography and architecture, especially in terms of memory. The work of photographers Alfred Duggan-Cronin, Francki Burger and Nomusa Makhubu serves as specific examples on how photography can be linked with architecture. This is discussed in terms of galleries and museums and how these building types can be designed in terms of photographic and phenomenological paradigms.
Paavo Järvensivu, researcher of economic culture and member of the Mustarinda Artist Association, and Karoliina Lummaa, literary researcher, explored the archives of the Finnish Museum of Photography to curate for the Helsinki Photography Biennial a show that explores the development of our relationship with nature. They wanted to see what the archived photographs are like and what they tell us about how natural resources are used in Finland, what the attitudes of Finns are towards wild animals, and what they think about nature and our place in it. This text is based on conversations that art historians Sofia Lahti and Anna-Kaisa Rastenberger from the Finnish Museum of Photography had with Järvensivu and Lummaa.

abrtract Niskanen examines the meanings of past which Aalto wanted to transpose into his architecture – what she terms cultural memory. She searches for their points of origin in Aalto´s education and travels, in particular his impressions of the Acropolis in Athens. For Aalto, a civic centre was “the face of a city”, which should be the citizens’ meeting place. Of particular importance to him was the ritual entry into a theatre. Of the many civic centres that Aalto designed, few were realised in their entirety. Three of them are examined, as well as the Helsinki University of Technology campus, which is interpreted as a city in miniature. Aalto fought against the idea of placing commercial functions in close proximity with his centres – but recent extensions and traffic arrangements have brought a new vibrancy to some of them. The way in which Aalto handled the idea of memory and his use of classical elements is studied. Niskanen argues that classicism seemed continuously attractive to Aalto.

Objects of Memory, 2018
Since the mid-1980s, I have been working on a project that explores my family history, memories and current life. This long-running project consists of what I am calling a ‘Family Photo Diary’ – a collection of hundreds of photographs, art works, documents, interviews, movies, books and other publications portraying different aspects of my family. My idea throughout the project has been to regard the various ‘chapters’ of my ‘biography’ through the family’s history and the issues that surfaced in each as a labyrinth, in which each ‘chapter’ is connected to the other, vertically and horizontally, and where the past and present are connected and have obvious implications for the present and the future. This approach stands in contrast to the usual approach seen in ‘formal’ or institutional-state archives, as well as in private family archives, which tend to follow a chronological history. Throughout the years, I have worked on projects and exhibitions dealing with the different chapters of this ongoing project. Each chapter led organically to the next and many questions arose – questions relating to Jewish and Israeli identity, culture and religion and to attitudes toward the Holocaust and its after-effects, including the possibility and extent of dialogue with the descendants of those on the ‘opposite’ side.

“Selective memory” of the past, borrowing the definition from cognitive psychology and neuro- science, represents a phenomenon closely tied to the history of classical archaeology and the antiquarian, specif- ically within Italian museum studies, as a cultural-ideological result of 19th and 20th century historical events. A research recently undertaken into the current situation of museums pertaining to a subregional district of south- ern Latium, the region of central western Italy of which Rome is the county seat, constituted an opportunity for comparison based on the analysis of some indicators, both aesthetical and technical: museological and museo- graphical approaches, management issues, exhibition design, and communication strategies. A common thread is a perpetuation of bygone ideological and propaganda symbols as nostalgia for the past and the reactivation of historical, political, and anthropological phenomena. As a case study the Archaeological Civic Museum of Terracina, a city 100 kilometers south of Rome, has been chosen, in consideration of its long history and the possibility to assist to the evolution of the fittings and locations from 1894, the year of foundation, until today, by dint of photos, inventories, and period letters. The central theme of criterion for selecting the archaeological material to be exhibited has been, since the beginning, the past that we choose to tell. This “selective memory” is identifiable in the different treatment reserved to single objects: some have been collected and preserved, some have been scattered, some have been perceived as unrepresentative, and thus deemed unworthy of display or narration, and stored in depots. The museum has consequently selected only certain aspects of the past of its community, which is almost entirely related to its Late Roman Republican and Imperial period, an attitude which in the literature is frequently referred to as “Romanolatry”. The cult of the “white archaeology” removes from consideration the material culture of everyday life, of prehistoric, protohistoric, late antique, medieval, and Renaissance phases, even when well documented. Is the museum a place of oblivion or a place of memory? Keywords: classical archaeology, museum studies, antiquarian, nostalgia, propaganda, memory
