Brucebo – the musealization of an artists’ home (English)
Abstract [en]
The history and development of an artists’ home museum are key components for the guides that work with them. Objects, rooms, colours, all encapsulate personal stories with which visitors can expand their knowledge of the matter presented in the institution. For an artists’ home museum this is specially relevant as it employs the same places the artists worked and lived in, which with the help of curator experts a narrative has been created out of. The present work uses exhibition analysis on such kind with the Brucebo museum, where the couple Carolina Benedicks-Bruce and William Blair Bruce lived and worked. The aim is to recapitulate the history of the place and its changes through source research so that an insight discussion can be offered of the narrative and portrayal of the interior as the author experienced being a temporary member of the tour guide team. The thesis “Brucebo – the musealization of an artists’ home” in integrated conservation was written through the Department of Art History at Uppsala University
