THE SIGNIFICANCE OF NARRATIVE TO INTERPRET ‘SHERLOCK HOLMES’ CHARACTERIN MUSEUMS
ABSTRACT: This research
focuses on the study of Sherlock Holmes character that has been a famous
detective icon in the world, where this character then become the main theme
interpreted by the museum. The method
employed by the museum to “narrate” that particular character is very
significant to determine the objective and background for the museum as the
exhibition organizer. Narration holds a crucial role to “guide” the
understanding of the audiences to a character, or sometimes can make
“confusion” to the audience when differentiate whether the character is fiction
or non-fiction. By comparing the narration on the permanent displays of Museum
of Sherlock Holmes to temporary exhibition display in Museum of London with
Sherlock Holmes theme, it can be seen the significance of the relation between
narration and interpretation of a character that also determine the message of
that museum.
