Análise histórica expográfica: uma visão geral da exposição principal do Museu Arqueológico do Pireu

Abstract

This study focuses on the historical analysis of the core exhibition of the Archaeological Museum of Piraeus, and its relationship with the museum's history and the city. The core exhibition organization has remained unchanged since 1998, although some changes have occurred in the exhibit rooms over the years, such as the addition of new objects, some elements, or loaned pieces for exhibition outside the country. The study is limited by the availability of sources and the specific context of the Archaeological Museum of Piraeus, and the findings may not be applicable to all archaeological museums. However, the study has important implications for the analysis and design of archaeological exhibitions and the potential use of urban space. This study contributes to the growing body of museum design research on historical exhibition analysis by using a mixed-methods approach such as site visit, bibliography, and archive documents to examine exhibitions.
