은 두 개의 줄거리를 동시에 사용하여 헤라클레스의 12과업에 대한 고대 신화 이야기를 다시 하고 르네상스 이후부터 현대까지의 과학, 기술, 그리고 예술의 역사에서 헤라클레스의 수용에 대해 논의하는 학제간 전시회입니다. 이 전시회는 차우 착 윙 박물관에서 수용학에 관한 시리즈의 두 번째 전시회입니다. 첫 번째 전시회인 는 호메로스의 서사시 과 를 중심으로 린나이우스의 분류와 작명 체계를 소개하였습니다. 이 전시회는 명명될 동물의 외형적 속성을 자주 무시한 이름을 사용함에 있어 라틴어 신화 기록가의 글의 역할을 강조하였습니다. 그러나 헤라클레스라는 이름은 동물, 장소 또는 허구를 그 고대 인물과 연관시키기 위해 외형적 특성이 고려되어야 합니다. 전시에는 헤라클레스와 그의 동료 또는 적들의 이름이 우리 주변에서 사용된 다양한 방식을 나타내는 동물, 식물, 그리고 사물과 함께 고대 아테네와 르네상스 이후의 미술이 포함되어 있습니다.

The challenges, and rewards, of undertaking archaeological fieldwork in a country like Afghanistan have been numerous and need to be outlined to put the following research in context. The minaret and archaeological remains of Jām were inscribed on the World Heritage List in 2002 as Afghanistan’s first World Heritage site. The World Heritage nomination concludes by hoping that the inscription of the site would result in the mobilisation of financial and technical support to assist with the conservation, presentation and development of the site, building the capacity of Afghan conservation and management expertise, and the development of a comprehensive management plan.

Hercules: Myth and Legacy is an interdisciplinary exhibition that uses two narrative arcs simultaneously to retell the ancient mythological saga of Hercules’ twelve labours and to discuss the reception of Hercules in the history of science, technology and art from the post-Renaissance period to the modern day. This exhibition is the second in a series at the Chau Chak Wing Museum devoted to reception studies. The first exhibition, Animal Gods: Classics and Classification, focussed on Homeric epics the Trojan War and the Odyssey to introduce Linnaeus’ classification and naming systems, highlighting the role of Latin mythographer texts in the application of names, often without consideration of the physical attributes of the animal being named. However, for the name Hercules, the physical characteristics of the animal, place, or invention are of utmost consideration, in order to associate them with the traits of the ancient figure. The display includes ancient Athenian and post-Renaissance art alongside, animals, plants and objects that represent the variety of ways the name Hercules and the names of his associates or adversaries have been applied in the world around us.

The development of a new permanent exhibition on the Near East presented an exciting opportunity to investigate the holdings from this region in the Nicholson Museum collection. Initial investigation revealed held material from a number of significant sites that were important for their contribution to the understanding of the cultures that inhabited and shaped the region in the ancient world. The sites chosen for research and exhibition were Jericho, Tell Brak, Nineveh, Nimrud, Ur, Tell el-Ajjul, Harappa and Pella.

Ancient people looked to the skies to make sense of the world. Following the stars allowed people to predict the change of seasons, track time and create calendars. Sailors, as they struck out across the seas, used the night sky to guide their path. Architects designed tombs and temples to align with celestial beings for superstitious and practical reasons. Astronomy and astrology systematised these observation. The exhibition included information and objects from Ancient Britain, Australian Aboriginal, Egyptian, Greek, Roman and Persian cultures. It also considered the re-awakening of astronomical research in the Renaissance.

《赫拉克勒斯：神话与传承》是一场跨学科的展览，其同时采用两条叙事线索来重述古代神话赫拉克勒斯的十二试炼，并探讨了自后文艺复兴时期至今赫拉克勒斯在科学、技术和艺术领域的影响与应用。 此次展览是周泽荣博物馆致力于“接受研究”系列展览中的第二场展览。第一场展览《动物之神：古典与分类》是关于荷马史诗《特洛伊战》和《奥德赛》。展览中介绍了林奈的生物分类和命名系统，突出了拉丁神话学家文本在名称应用中的作用，其往往没有考虑到被命名动物的物理属性。然而，对于使用‘赫拉克勒斯’ 这个名称的时候，最重要的是考虑到动物、地点或发明物的身体特征，以便将它们与赫拉克勒斯的特征联系起来。此次陈列品包括古代雅典和后文艺复兴时期的艺术作，以及在我们周围世界中应用了赫拉克勒斯及其同伴或对手的名称的动物、植物和物品。

Mediterranean Identities: Across the Wine-Dark Sea thematically explores the material culture of the Mediterranean basin of the first millennium BC. The themes were chosen to highlight the regional variations between Hellenic city-states, colonies, and their neighbours. Each section draws out the differing ways in which identity was expressed in the art and design of artefacts made for practical purposes, including coinage, feasting sets, clothing, toys, entertainment, votive offerings and funerary items. The objects chosen for display represent the strengths of the Nicholson Collection and reflect the collecting priorities of former curators. Many of the Etruscan artefacts were collected by Sir Charles Nicholson (1808–1903) in the mid-1850s and formed part of the foundation of the University’s Museum of Antiquities. Arthur Dale Trendall (1909–1995), followed by Alexander Cambitoglou (1922–2019), actively pursued new acquisitions that demonstrated the development of Greek and south Italian ceramics, becoming leaders of the field. Further acquisitions to the collection were assisted by Richard Green (1936–), particularly in regard to ancient theatre studies.

Cyprus is an island in the eastern Mediterranean Sea whose legacy is of a significance far beyond its physical size, because of its geography and geology. Located between Asia, Europe and Africa, it is at the very nexus of trade and cultural contact between the powers of the region throughout human history. Its economy was powered by the island’s rich mineral resources, especially copper, and other natural resources such as timber and agricultural products. The island’s protective harbours welcomed vessels from across the eastern Mediterranean. This exhibition explores archaeological and artistic responses to those international links developed by local artisans and craftspeople. There is much current academic discussion around the themes of insularity and internationalism pertinent to Cyprus: how do island cultures adapt to international connections and still maintain local customs and traditions? When do communities look outwards and when inwards? The exhibition, through its themes explores these issues in depth to ask what made Cypriot-produced goods unique. The answer is in the distinctive mixture of cultural traditions in stone, clay, metal and other materials used by the artisans of the island. The exhibition explores the concept of crossroads through materiality and the traces left behind by traders and conquerors on local populations. Cyprus is a prime exemplar of the archaeology of cross-cultural contact.
