Open-access Sound on display: popular music and associated aural objects in The Beatles Story museum

AuthorshipSCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

    ABSTRACT

    This article aimed at analyzing how the insertion of popular music and aural objects in museum exhibitions occurs, taking as its object of study The Beatles Story museum, located in Liverpool. The analysis was based on empirically collected records and theoretical studies, taking into account interdisciplinary sound studies and literature on museums dedicated to music and sound. The analysis considered the audio minutes and 90 photographic records produced during a visit to the museum. The tour of the exhibition revealed the predominance of the historically established narrative, with no elements that offer other interpretative possibilities. Some aspects do not open up space for questioning the staged memory, including the ambience, created mainly by audio and aural objects, the use of inconsistent captions and the absence of other communication resources.
