This project proposes a new perspective on the role of arts within a science institution. It will investigate a two-sided question: how have museums like the Science Museum Group thought about and conceptualised art; and how have the histories of such institutions, and their collections, shaped how the discipline of art history has conceived of visual cultures of science. The project is intentionally interdisciplinary, bringing museum studies and histories of collecting to bear on the boundary between history of science and history of art. Focused on archival research, particularly museum files, the work offers a timely and significant contribution to work at SMG to develop a vision for art across the group. It provides opportunity for a student to work in a curatorial capacity across the SMG museums, contributing to collections history and policy development, as well as to future acquisitions and commissioning. The student will be expected to spend time at both Birkbeck and the SMG museums, while being based at the Science Museum, as well as becoming part of the wider cohort of CDP funded students across the UK. They also have the potential (funding depending) to spend time working with the Curator of the Art Collection at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, Washington DC, to do a comparative study of a comparable collection.

这个项目提出了一个新的角度对艺术的作用在科学机构。它将调查一个双面的问题：如何有像科学博物馆集团的博物馆思考和概念化的艺术;以及如何有这样的机构的历史，他们的收藏，塑造了艺术史的学科如何设想科学的视觉文化。该项目有意跨学科，将博物馆研究和收藏史纳入科学史和艺术史之间的界限。该工作专注于档案研究，特别是博物馆档案，为SMG的工作提供了及时和重要的贡献，以制定整个集团的艺术愿景。它为学生提供了在SMG博物馆中从事策展工作的机会，有助于收藏历史和政策制定，以及未来的收购和委托。学生将有望花时间在伯克贝克和SMG博物馆，而在科学博物馆的基础上，以及成为整个英国CDP资助的学生更广泛的队列的一部分。他们也有可能（资金取决于）花时间与史密森国家航空航天博物馆，华盛顿特区的艺术收藏馆馆长合作，对可比收藏品进行比较研究。
