| Abstract |
|
In the nineteenth century, unlike travellers to Africa, Asia and the Americas, explorers who were lucky to return home from their expeditions to the Arctic, had few material riches to boast about. In the Museum, permanent and temporary exhibitions about the Arctic are intertwined. In a way, permanent displays form the background against which temporary displays are shown, thus forming a singular exhibition environment, with the Arctic emerging as a continuous visual space. In the 2010s, going to museums and art galleries became fashionable again, with many institutions experiencing a revival manifested – in the neoliberal fashion – in greater visitor numbers. At the end of the second decade of the twenty-first century, Russian museums operate in the climate of increased scrutiny and greater competition. The chapter concludes that the haptic visuality of the North is a realisation of visual multiplicity through looking and feeling, on the one hand, and seeing and engaging, on the other.
