ABSTRACT:- This paper traces the role of the museum as a tool in the formation of national identity, in Bavarian kingdom, during the late eighteen and early nineteenth centuries. The importance of the museums in Berlin and Munich, built under the rule of Ludwig I, is that they helped to forge the new museum typology that were applied to other European cities with the same intent. The paper examines three museums from Munich and Berlin: The Altes Museum, the Glyptothek and the Alte Pinakothek. It seeks to establish the relationship between the content or the collection and the container or the building itself as well as the expression of this phenomena into the architectural language.

An Iot Based Smart Manifold Attendance SystemIJERDJOURNAL
ABSTRACT:- Attendance has been an age old procedure employed in different disciplines of educational institutions. While attendance systems have witnessed growth right from manual techniques to biometrics, plight of taking attendance is undeniable. In fingerprint based attendance monitoring, if fingers get roughed / scratched, it leads to misreading. Also for face recognition, students will have to make a queue and each one will have to wait until their face gets recognised. Our proposed system is employing “manifold attendance” that means employing passive attendance, where at a time, the attendance of multiple people can get captured. We have eliminated the need of queue system / paper-pen system of attendance, and just with a single click the attendance is not only captured, but monitored as well, that too without any human intervention. In the proposed system, creation of database and face detection is done by using the concepts of bounding box, whereas for face recognition we employ histogram equalization and matching technique.
A Novel Approach To Detect Trustworthy Nodes Using Audit Based Scheme For WSNIJERDJOURNAL
ABSTRACT: In multi-hop ad hoc networks there exists a problem of identifying and isolating misbehaving nodes which refuses to forward packets. Audit-based Misbehavior Detection (AMD) is a comprehensive system that effectively and efficiently isolates both continuous and selective packet droppers. The AMD system integrates reputation management, trustworthy route discovery, and identification of misbehaving nodes based on behavioral audits. Compared to previous methods, AMD evaluates node behavior on a per-packet basis, without employing energy-expensive overhearing techniques or intensive acknowledgment schemes. Moreover, AMD can detect selective dropping attacks even if end-to-end traffic is encrypted and can be applied to multichannel networks or networks consisting of nodes with directional antennas. This work implements the AMD approach by considering the rushing attack. The analysis of the results confirms that AMD based method with rushing attack performs better as compared to the non rushing attack.

Prospects and Problems of Non-Governmental Organizations in Poverty Alleviati...IJERDJOURNAL
ABSTRACT: The World Bank sponsored Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), launched in 1990 envisaged a world free of poverty by the year 2015. The North-East (where Gombe State is centrally located) is experiencing significantly higher poverty and lack of progress in poverty reduction efforts. With coming to end of 2015, much still need to be done to attain the MDGs. With over 62.6% Nigerian population still very poor, there is need for a continuous search for alternative planning & development options that would help ameliorate poverty and sustained our dream for a world free of poverty and wants. This study examines the prospects and investigates the constraints of Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) in poverty alleviation and community development. Literature review, questionnaire and interview methods were used for the study. The findings revealed that: finance, continuity of projects/programmes, conflicts and insecurity were the major problems confronting the NGOs. An interesting revelation is that majority of the respondents indicated that they wait for the NGOs or Government to initiate poverty alleviation programmes/projects. The implication is that the community dwellers need attitudinal change necessary for self reliance. The prospect of NGOs in poverty alleviation and community development in the study area is very bright due to rapid population growth & increasing poverty levels with the attendant positive effects on urban planning and regional development. The study recommends that NGOs should (1) form an association to enable them work together, and utilize social capital in their operation/services. (2) seek to explore avenues for funding from donor agencies. Finally, the Government needs to address some of its short comings.
Development of Regression Model Using Lasso And Optimisation of Process Param...IJERDJOURNAL
ABSTRACT:- Metal Spinning is a concept of describing the forming of metal into seamless, axisymmetric shapes by a combination of rotational motion and force. Sheet metal spinning is one of the metal forming processes, which a flat metal blank is rotated at a high speed and formed into an axisymmetric part by a roller which gradually forces the blank on to a mandrel, bearing the final shape of the spun part. Over the last few decades, sheet metal spinning has developed significantly and spun products have been used in various industries. Nowadays the process has been expanded to new horizons in industries, since tendency to use minimum tool and equipment costs and also using lower forces with the output of excellent surface quality and good mechanical properties. The automation of the process is of greater importance, due to its wider applications like decorative household‟s goods, rocket nose cones, gas cylinders etc. The objective of the current work is to develop the mathematical model for the spinning process with surface roughness as response and the input parameters as Mandrel speed (rpm), geometry of the Roller and Thickness of sheet (mm). Type of mandrel (EN8 Material) considered in the spinning process has the geometrical profile of parabola and single roller and double roller tools (EN8 Material) are used to deform the Al2024-T3 sheet metal paper aims to understand the process parameters that affect the surface finish of the spun component. Full factorial Design of Experiments technique is used to find the minimum number of experimental trials that are required to develop the regression model. A regression model using Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (Lasso) is developed to further deepen the understanding between the input parameters and the surface roughness. The model was optimised using Sequential Quadratic Programming.

ABSTRACT: In the developing countries like India, need of infrastructure is very high as compared to the available resources. The various organizations put their demands to state and center government for sanction of their project, government depends upon its various department to provide an approximate cost so that priorities can be assigned. The conventional procedure depends upon the land surveying, collection of data from various departments resulting in delay in necessary decision making or some time shelving due to unreasonable cost estimate due to field data being very old. Survey of India, The National Survey and Mapping Organization single handily taking this responsibility thus up gradation of data is far behind the actual development. From the satellite data, which is available in the form of images and terrains (even in 3d LiDAR points for some areas) is very useful for Feasibility Study, and Preliminary Project Report. In the present study natural drain named „Chai Nala‟ meanders through the prime property of Greater Mohali Area Development Authority (GMADA) thus making a big chunk of commercial land inoperative. It was proposed to straighten and channelize to reclaim the land from drain regime. Being the precious land department wanted the most economical and technically sound design without taking any risk. It was decided to counter check the hydraulic data, ground profile, acquired from the Punjab Irrigation Department with the satellite data and Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS). The data from the Google Earth was acquired using Cad Earth software and water shed analysis was carried out using Autodesk Civil 3D software. Comparison of results shows that this technique is quite useful and can be for preliminary feasibility and project preparation. Thus saving huge money and time.

Development of Enhanced Frequency Drive for 3-Phase Induction Motors Submitte...IJERDJOURNAL
ABSTRACT: Three-phase induction motors produce mechanical power by electromagnetic induction and run on a 3-phase ac supply. They require efficient speed control, to enable them do variable speed operations, save power consumption and reduce machine noise. In this dissertation, a new switching device called MosControlled Thyristor (MCT) for frequency drive is introduced. Based on the new switching device and AT89C52 microcontroller, an enhanced frequency drive for controlling the speed and torque of 3-phase 15kW squirrel cage induction motor is modeled. Different voltages ranging from 342V to 415V and frequencies ranging from 50Hz to 60Hz are used in a systematic manner to simulate the system based on the new switching device. The simulation program is written in C language and tested with Proteus 7.6 simulation software. Voltage and frequency have significant impact on the actual speed and torque of the motor. Simulation results show that with the new model, the torque (56.66Nm) developed by the motor which is constant throughout each speed range is directly proportional to the ratio (6.7:1) of the applied voltage and the frequency of the supply and the selected speeds (1450, 1510, 1570, 1630, 1690 and 1750 rpm) are locked irrespective of change in load. This is unlike other models where magnetic saturation and conduction drop of IGBT lead to voltage/frequency imbalance resulting in excessive drawing of current by the motor and overheating. This new control method has a speed regulation of ±2 to 3% of maximum frequency, speed response of 3Hz, speed control range of 1: 40 and efficiency of 88%, as further advantages. Comparison of the system with other speed control techniques shows improved energy-saving, cost effectiveness and safety in operation. The contributions of this research aim to make Volts per Hertz speed control method based on MCT a reliable better alternative to other well known methods in speed control of three-phase induction motors

Optimal Pricing Policy for a Manufacturing Inventory Model with Two Productio...IJERDJOURNAL
ABSTRACT: When a new product is launched, a manufacturer applies the strategy of offering a quantity incentive initially for some time to boost up the demand of the product. The present paper describes a manufacturing inventory model with price sensitive demand enhanced by a quantity incentive. Later on demand becomes time increasing also. Inventory cycle starts with low production rate which is followed by higher production rate when demand is boosted up. Shortages are not allowed in this model. Presentation of numerical examples, tables, graphs and sensitivity analysis describes the model very well. Lastly case without incentive illustrates that usually the quantity incentive offered initially is beneficial.
Analysis of failure behavior of shear connection in push-out specimen by thre...IJERDJOURNAL
ABSTRACT:- This study analyzes the failure mechanism of shear connection by three-dimensional finite element analysis (FEA) of push-out specimens that was practically unaffordable experimentally or by twodimensional FEA. For the analysis of the failure behavior of the compression strut formed in the loaded concrete member, the three-dimensional principal stress space is transformed into two-dimensional space by means of the relation between the hydrostatic stress and the deviatoric stress. The analysis of the stress state in the compression strut revealed that the deviatoric stress increases with larger load particularly in the concrete surrounding the lower part of the shear stud. Accordingly, bearing failure of concrete occurred locally within a limited region in the slab. The steep increase of the deviatoric stress accompanying the increase of the load resulted in the failure of concrete around the lower part of the shear stud, which in turn provoked the deformation and the development of bending moment of the shear stud. Finally, plastic hinge formed in the shear stud leading it to reach its limit state. The proposed finite element model can also be used to model the shear connection of the composite beam and, the proposed stress analysis method can be applied to analyze its composite action behavior.
Discrete Time Batch Arrival Queue with Multiple VacationsIJERDJOURNAL
ABSTRACT:- In this paper we consider a discrete time batch arrival queueing system with multiple vacations. It is assume that the service of customers arrived in the system between a fixed intervals of time after which the service goes on vacations after completion of one service of cycle is taken up at the boundaries of the fixed duration of time. This is the case of late arrival. In case of early arrival i.e. arrival before the start of next cycles of service. If the customer finds the system empty, it is served immediately. We prove the Stochastic decomposition property for queue length and waiting time distribution for both the models.
Regional Rainfall Frequency Analysis By L-Moments Approach For Madina Region,...IJERDJOURNAL
ABSTRACT:- In arid regions, extreme rainfall event frequency predictions are still a challenging problem, because of the rain gauge stations scarcity and the record length limitation, which are usually short to insure reliable quantile estimates. Regional frequency analysis is one of the popular approaches used to compensate the data limitation. In this paper, regional frequency analysis of maximum daily rainfall is investigated for Madinah province in the Western Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). The observed maximum daily rainfall records of 20 rainfall stations are selected from 1968 to 2015. The rainfall data is evaluated using four tests, namely, Discordance test (Di), Homogeneity test (H), Goodness of fit test (Zdist) and L-moment ratios diagram (LMRD). The Di of L-moments shows that all the sites belong to one group (Di <3.0).><1). Finally, the Zdist is used to evaluate five probability distribution functions (PDFs) including generalized logistic (GLO), generalized extreme value (GEV), generalized normal (GNO), generalized Pareto (GPA), and Pearson Type III (PE3). Zdist and LMRD both showed that PE3 distribution is the best among the other PDFs. The regional parameters of the candidate PDF are computed using L-moments approach and accordingly the regional dimensionless growth curve is developed. The results enhance the accuracy of extreme rainfall prediction at-sites and also they can be used for ungauged catchment in the region.

Business Intelligence - A Gift for Decision Maker for the Effective Decision ...IJERDJOURNAL
ABSTRACT: Business Intelligence is a socio-technical concept emerged to help managers especially in their decision making tasks. A manager with different decision making styles has been started to make use of business intelligence in their own ways. Are the all managers taking benefits of Business intelligence in the same way? Does Business intelligence give each category what they want in the decision making process? If the answer to these questions is – No, then what is the expectation of managers from BI having different decision making style? Will BI could satisfy their needs? If yes, then how? By using well-formed theory in different styles of decision making and taking BI capabilities into consideration this paper highlights the framework which defines appropriate BI capabilities with each decision making style. Study shows in order to serve each style of decision in which BI capabilities changes with respect to style. It is believed that by making BI customized based on decision making styles; BI would be the much more successful in serving all the categories of managers
Effect of Water And Ethyl Alcohol Mixed Solvent System on the Stability of Be...IJERDJOURNAL
ABSTRACT: The stabilities of ternary complexes of metal ions (copper, nickel, zinc and cobalt) with betahydroxy ketone(BHK) derivatives and benzotriazole(BTAZ) derivatives in various mixed solvent systems (Water+Ethyl Alcohol) medium in 0.1 M KNO3 ionic strength at 250C using pH metric titration method have been established. The data reveal that the copper forms more stable complexes, which is followed by zinc and Ni complexes with these ligands. Cobalt form less stable complexes with these ligands. The stabilities of these complexes are further quantified with Δ log K values, intra-molecular equilibrium constants and percentage of stacking interaction in the ternary systems. The observed positive Δ log K values suggest that the flexible side chain alkyl moiety (ethyl group, butyl group) or aromatic moiety (phenyl group) in BHK ligand overlaps with the fixed aromatic moiety of BTAZ ligand in the ternary complex, which results in the enhanced stabilities for the (BHK-Alk)-Metal(II)-BTAZ and (BHK-Ph)-Metal(II)-BTAZ systems. Interestingly, the positive Δ log K values for both BHK-Alk and BHK-Ph ligands in their corresponding ternary complexes are about the same. This suggests the flexible Alkyl or phenyl side chain of BHK is overlapping with the triazole ring, but not the phenoxy ring of the BTAZ ligand.

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

Early Museum as Symbol of National Identity
Lejla Odobasic
International Burch University, Department of Architecture
ABSTRACT:- This paper traces the role of the museum as a tool in the formation of national
identity, in Bavarian kingdom, during the late eighteen and early nineteenth centuries. The
importance of the museums in Berlin and Munich, built under the rule of Ludwig I, is that they helped
to forge the new museum typology that were applied to other European cities with the same intent.
The paper examines three museums from Munich and Berlin: The Altes Museum, the Glyptothek and
the Alte Pinakothek. It seeks to establish the relationship between the content or the collection and the
container or the building itself as well as the expression of this phenomena into the architectural
language.
Keywords:- Museum, Collective Identity, Civic Architecture, Nationalism, Cultural Buildings
I. INTRODUCTION
During the last quarter of the twentieth century, the notion of the museum became
increasingly important and its role diversified. Its architecture explored a range of stylistic expressions
and it started to include a wide range of social, economical and urban functions which has made the
museum a key study subject for a number of different fields, including architecture, urban planning,
economics and cultural anthropology. As a result, a large body of research and literature has been
published on the topic and it continues to be a topic of discussion today. One of the current-day
leading museum studies academics, the cultural anthropologist Sharon MacDonald, argues that the
crucial question for museums today concerns their role in a world in where globalization is causing
nationalistic identities to be challenged. (Macdonald, 2016) She calls upon us to reconsider the
potential of museums for articulating new, post-national and transcultural identities. In order to
understand how museums could evolve to the state which MacDonald calls for, it is imperative to first
understand their conception and their early role as the national symbols of collective national identity.
The public museum as an institution, which became the embodiment of Western society,
started during the Renaissance time with the dissolution of monarchy and the rise of national identities
(Anderson, 1983). This symbol, that the museum came to be, is complex and multi-layered with
attributes of both domination and liberation where learning and leisure occur simultaneously. the
nineteenth with the rise of nation-state, that idiom became the primary creation of collective identity.
Thus the popularization of museums, also in the nineteenth century, was related to the formation and
solidification of nation-states primarily in Western Europe.
II. SETTING THE PERIMETRES
The most impressive example of a late eighteenth-century museum is the Musée Français, the
former French royal collection that was turned over to the public and installed in the Louvre. The
museum was opened to the public on a symbolic date in August 1793, the first anniversary of the
abolition of the monarchy. (McClellan, 1994) The opening of this museum was a strong political
statement where the former privilege of the few had become the property of the young French
republic. The Musée Français, which was installed in a former palace, did not significantly contribute

to the history of museum architecture, but it signaled the museum’s enormous political potential as a
governmental instrument. It played a big role in legitimizing the political ambitions of the new
republic. The collection was organized in a linear linear art-historical narrative thus visualizing the
abstract idea of a civic populous. It also became a showcase for the republic’s successful war efforts.
As a result of Napoleon’s extensive military campaigns, the Musée Français (which was renamed
Musée Napoleon in 1804) became the largest and most impressive collection of art objects ever
amassed (McClellan, 1994). However, the collection did not survive the fall of Napoleon. After the
Vienna Congress of 1815, almost half the works were repatriated and the return of looted art works
generated a museum building boom across Europe. Therefore, the political legacy of the Musée
Français lived on in these new institutions. The returned treasures were no longer just royal or
princely collections but were increasingly perceived as national assets to which the population was to
have full access.
During the nineteenth century, the Bavarian kingdom (present-day Germany) experienced a
great museum boom and it played a big role in the architectural development of the museum
architectural typology. This is largely due to the ambitions of its ruler, Ludwig and his ambitions
towards opposing the Napoleonic rule and establishing a strong Bavarian identity. Born in 1786,
Crown Prince Ludwig succeeded his father in 1825 as King of Bavaria. Although he held a certain
amount of respect for Napoleon (he modelled his robes, regalia, and throne at his coronation in a
Napoleonic fashion), he was at the same time bitterly shocked upon his visit to Berlin in 1807 where
he found that the royal family exiled to Königsberg after the its humiliating occupation by the forces
of Napoleon. He had himself reluctantly been forced to fight in the French army, which heightened
his nationalism. He described Napoleon as the ‘Arch Enemy of the German nation’ because he
abolished the Holy Roman Empire in 1806, replacing it with ‘modern bureaucratic vassal states.’
Crown Prince Ludwig began to conceive the ambition of embellishing Munich with three new
public buildings in a mood of nationalist and cultural buoyancy, and persuaded the Royal Bavarian
Academy of Art to announce a competition for them in 1814. This followed Napoleon’s defeat at
Leipzig in 1813, when the King of Bavaria had switched sides to join Napoleon’s enemies. Ludwig
was greatly inspired by a visit to Rome, decided that Munich, also needed a museum. As such very
quickly he set forth to plan three key museums: the Glyptothek (1815–30) for the display of sculpture;
Alte Pinakothek (1826–36) a picture gallery; and Neue Pinakothek (1846–53) a museum for
contemporary art.
III. CASE STUDIES.
Inspired by his visit to Rome, Prince Ludwig decided that Munich, also needed a museum that
would reflect the Bavarian identity. As such very quickly he set forth to plan three key museums: the
Glyptothek (1815–30) for the display of sculpture; Alte Pinakothek (1826–36) a picture gallery; and
Neue Pinakothek (1846–53) a museum for contemporary art. Since the first two of the above
mentioned museums, as well as the Altes Museum in Berlin, have played the most significant role in
the development of the museum typology, we shall look at these three buildings as case studies.

In 1814, he put forth a competition of the first key museum, the Glyptothek. Leo von Klenze
who was a young architect at the time, won the competition for the Glyptothek. Although, the layout
was firmly rooted in eighteenth-century tradition, it was Klenze’s conception of the façade that was
innovative for the time period. On the facades, he combined the elements of different time periods
resulting in an amalgamation of stylistic modes -- Greek, Roman and Renaissance (see Fig.1.). He
referenced the important ties to these time periods. He saw the Greek temple as both a shrine to cult
objects and ornamented with sculpture; the Roman baths had also served as public display spaces for
sculpture; while the Renaissance was the great age of collecting.

However, during the planning stages, the layout was significantly altered. The rectangular
plan was replaced by a four-wing plan which in turned was modeled on Durand’s ideal design (see
Fig. 2.). However, the Greek cross and central domed rotunda from Durand’s ideal design have been
omitted. Because the museum was intended to showcase the genuine Greek sculptures, the stylistic
expression for the facade was chosen to be the classical Greek. The front facade was designed with a
central portico that has eight Ionic columns and the pediment sculptures represent Greek sculptors at
work, showing the different production processes of sculpture in various materials.
The interior was a subject for great debated during construction. While Klenze proposed
richly ornamental display spaces, the scholarly advisor wanted the galleries to be a combination of
light wall colors with even lighting that was typical of on the sparse interiors of academy or studio at
the time. However, in the end, the architect’s vision prevailed: the interiors showed a rich, dark
decoration scheme. The walls of each gallery were painted in a monochrome color -- mostly red or
green -- while the ceilings and floors were heavily patterned. These ornaments were both decorative
and didactic, intended to add period flavor and provide historical context for the works on display.
Once inside the museum, there was a plaque reminding the visitors that the collection and
galleries had been funded by the generosity of Ludwig I, king of Bavaria. Although open to the public,
the collections were still seen as the background to a princely way of life. In the centre of the north
part of the plan, a private porte-cochère, led into two lavished rooms for Ludwig’s entertainments and
dinners. Indeed, he tended to use the entire building for his festivities and elaborate parties.
In terms of the regular visitor experience, the four wings provided a linear route through the
collection. It started in the entrance hall and moved clockwise, with the chronological journey of the
sculpture displays. First were the galleries housing ancient Egyptian, Greek – subdivided
chronologically and typologically – followed by Roman works and then a gallery for sculpture in
colored stone and bronze. The final gallery contained works by contemporary artists popular at the
time. They were Canova, Thorwaldsen, Shadow, and Rauch. At the far end of the building – directly
opposite the main entrance – the sequence of galleries was interrupted by a second, smaller entrance
and two adjoining banqueting rooms. As mentioned earlier, these were the rooms often used by the
king himself for festivities. Here, he commissioned the leading Nazarene artist, Peter Cornelius, to
fresco the ceilings with scenes from the Trojan War and Greek mythology.

Reserved for royal entertainment, these rooms served as a potent reminder of the museum’s
architectural lineage. In a gesture of political power, the palace had traditionally provided spaces that
combined the functions of display and entertainment and this notion of display and entertainment was
transferred onto the museum as well. Although the museum promoted chronological and contextual
displays which were cutting edge at the time that the collection was installed, it also remained
indebted to earlier display modes, even if the royal privilege was rarely exercised.The Glyptothek
formed part of a new urban development and (together with the neighbouring structures) it invoked a
classical past that helped to validate the recent political transformation of Bavaria. It stood at one side
of Königsplatz, and it stood next to tempo-Acropolis, which marked the city’s new entrance. At the
centre of the square, a monument commemorated the foundation of the Bavaria kingdom in 1806.
Furthermore, with its collection of classical and contemporary sculpture, the Glyptothek forged an
active link between the achievements of classical civilization and contemporary art.
A. The Case of Altes (Berlin)

Just like the Glyptothek in Munich, with its strategic urban location, a similarly symbolic
location was allotted to the Altes Museum (1823–30) in Berlin. The museum was situated on the north
side of Schlossplatz, across the square from the royal palace, flanked by cathedral, arsenal, and
university. In this case, the museum was placed alongside the markers of Prussia’s societal powers:
monarchy, church, military, and bourgeois intelligentsia.
Karl Friedrich von Schinkel’s was selected as the architect for Altes museum. His design also
represented a variation on Durand’s blueprint that was the blueprint for museums in Europe at the
time. While the Klenze’s Glyptothek was a reduced version of the Durand’s plan, Schinkel’s Altes
plan on the other hand was reworked more extensive. Unlike Klenze, he did retain the central rotunda,
but he also halved the square outline to form a rectangular ground-floor plan instead of the square.
Unlike Duran and Klenze before him, Schinkel arranged the gallery spaces on two floors.
Upon approach, the museum sits on a plinth-like podium which one ascends via wide stairs in
order to get to the main entrance (see Fig.3.). The main entrance --on the raised ground floor-- takes

the visitor straight to the heart of the building which is the rotunda. The rotunda is an impressive two-
stories high space topped with a dome. This central space has a complex architectural lineage and was
heavily inspired by the Italian architecture (proportions from the galleries in the Vatican museum as
well as the magnificent interior of the Pantheon in Rome), and also by Durand’s influential plan. As a
transitional space, this central hall, also fulfills an important psychological function. In the rotunda,
visitors are supposed to leave behind the everyday world and prepare themselves for the
contemplation of art.
Along the length of the main façade, behind the large Ionic columns, a monumental staircase
provides access to the upper story (See Fig. 4.). Ascending the stairs, visitors are given the view of the
royal palace and the cathedral. Across the Kupfergraben they can see the arsenal and university. In
this unusual ascent to the upper-floor galleries, which allows a range of vistas, the museum
proclaimed and consolidated its position in the urban fabric of Prussia’s capital.The raised ground
floor housed the Greco-Roman and while the paintings were on display on the first floor. The
collections followed an arrangement similar to that of the works displayed in the Glyptothek where it
followed a roughly chronological sequence in the clockwise route through the galleries. As was the
case in Munich, here too the debates ensued over the interior decoration. In Berlin the architect’s
vision also prevailed over a more modest setting modeled on academy and studio.

Although centrally located in the city, the museum also functioned as a piece of Arcadia
echoing ancient Greek urban principles. Its outline invoked the Acropolis, which was the cultural
symbol towering above classical Athens. During the nineteenth century, a cultural complex developed
behind the Altes Museum. It consisted of the Neues Museum (1841–59), National Gallery (1866–76),
Kaiser Friedrich-Museum (now Bode-Museum, 1904), and Pergamon Museum (1930).
As in Munich, Berlin’s cultural institutions were grouped together and thus created the notion
of one of the first museum clusters. The aim of the cluster was to invoke the mythical virtues of
classical antiquity that of learning and civic values.
B. The Case of Alte Pinakothek (Munich)
7. Early Museum as Symbol of National Identity
73

After successfully completing the Glyptothek, Klenze was now asked to design a gallery for
the royal collection of paintings to be added to the Munich mosaic. In the Alte Pinakothek (1826–36),
instead of Ancient Greece, Klenze used a Renaissance idiom for the façade. The building was
completely differently conceptualized from Glyptothek or Altes in Berlin (see Fig. 5.). The museum
consists of a structure of twenty-five bays with small corner pavilions at either end. The ground floor
houses administration, reserve collections, and store rooms while all of the display galleries being
located on the first floor (see Fig. 6.). The entrance to the main collection was situated at the east end.
Once the visitor had ascended the staircase, an uninterrupted set of large galleries unfolded in a linear
sequence. These were flanked by small galleries on the north and a corridor on the south side. For the
galleries themselves, Klenze created large, top-lit rooms for the large-scale works. For the small scale
work, he created cabinet-sized, side-lit rooms.
This distinction of scales, along with the shift to linear arrangement of galleries, became the
new model for the nineteenth-century picture gallery. Similar museums include Gottfried Semper’s
Picture Gallery, Dresden (1847–55), Klenze’s new wing for the Hermitage, St Petersburg (1842–51),
August von Voit’s Neue Pinakothek, Munich (1846–53, destroyed) and Oskar Sommer’s Städelsches
Kunstinstitut, Frankfurt (1878).

The aspiration towards the Renaissance ideals in the building was further strengthened by the
foundation stone that was laid on April 7, 1982. This is the birthday of one of the most revered
Renaissance painters, Raphael. Furthermore, Raphael’s works were displayed in a side room of the
wet pavilion, out of sequence with the rest of the collection as the collection was arranged
chronologically. This was done to save the experience of his paintings for the end of the visit, as the
final highlight of the whole collection. The corridor was decorated with frescos illustrating the history
of art and in such way it complemented the actual displays. The corridor was inspired loggia in the
Vatican done by Raphael. It in the Alte Pinakothek, the history of art was illustrated in two ways: an
exemplary selection of works and a painted plethora of immense masters (both arranged according to
national schools).
IV. CONCLUSIONS
The significance behind the museums in Berlin and Munich during the rule of Ludwig I, is
that they helped to forge the new museum type. The Altes Museum and the Glyptothek both modified
Durand’s influential design for an ideal museum. They presented the display of art as a linear,
progressive history which the visitor traversed and physically re-enacted. While the Alte Pinakothek
broke away and introduced a more Renaissance inspired model of museum building.
All three buildings discussed here constructed a close relationship between the content and
the container. The symbolic language of their architecture was in tune with the collections. The
display spaces were fixed as the history of art was not subjected to revisions and interpretations
Instead, it was presented as universal, chronological, and progressive. The architecture of the museum
underscored the institution’s function as a monument to culture.
