Kingston Museum holds one of the four pre-eminent archival collections of Eadweard Muybridge (1830-1904), a Kingston-born photographer who pioneered studies of movement and motion-picture projection. The Collection has a distinctive local connection since it was donated by Muybridge himself in 1904. However, considering the international influence and legacy of Muybridge's works throughout modern culture, Muybridge and his work have a relatively low local public profile and recognition, and the Collection has not been fully utilised and connected with contemporary local audiences. A need for the reinterpretation of the Collection, using creative and engaging methods, has been identified. The Muybridge Collection will be reinterpreted by exploring and re-presenting it through innovative and creative contemporary arts, along with other Muybridge-focused public programmes at Kingston Museum from 2017.My research will investigate the implications and impact of the reinterpretation of Kingston Museum's Muybridge Collection, through contemporary arts, for local public engagement. Alongside literature research into history and theories of the reinterpretation of historic collections, other UK museums with defined historic collections will be examined for the contemporary reinterpretation of their collections. Further research on other major Muybridge collections and the modern adaptation of those collections for contemporary audiences will also be undertaken.Through this research, I hope to delineate the roles of contemporary arts for the reinterpretation of Kingston Museum's Muybridge Collection and their implications for current local audiences. I would also hope to extend the outcomes of the research to other local museums in the UK, by providing a practical case study for the reinterpretation of a defined historic collection.

金斯顿博物馆收藏了埃德沃德·迈布里奇（Eadweard Muybridge，1830-1904 年）的四个杰出档案藏品之一，他是一位出生于金斯顿的摄影师，是运动和电影投影研究的先驱。该藏品自1904年由迈布里奇本人捐赠以来，就具有鲜明的地方联系。然而，考虑到迈布里奇作品在现代文化中的国际影响力和遗产，迈布里奇及其作品在当地的公众知名度和认可度相对较低，该藏品尚未得到充分利用和与当代当地观众的联系。我们已经确定需要使用富有创意且引人入胜的方法来重新诠释该系列。迈布里奇藏品将通过创新和创造性的当代艺术以及金斯顿博物馆其他以迈布里奇为重点的公共项目进行探索和重新呈现，从而对其进行重新诠释。我的研究将调查通过当代艺术重新诠释金斯顿博物馆的迈布里奇藏品对当地公众参与的影响和影响。除了对历史和历史藏品重新诠释的理论进行文献研究外，其他拥有明确历史藏品的英国博物馆也将接受对其藏品的当代重新诠释的研究。还将对其他主要迈布里奇藏品进行进一步研究，并针对当代观众对这些藏品进行现代改编。通过这项研究，我希望描绘当代艺术在金斯顿博物馆的迈布里奇藏品重新诠释中的作用及其对当前当地观众的影响。我还希望通过提供重新解释特定历史收藏品的实际案例研究，将研究成果扩展到英国其他当地博物馆。
