This study discusses how the emergence of architecturally significant modern housemuseums has necessitated implementation of new philosophies guiding interpretation andpreservation distinct from those governing historic house museums. Traditionally, many historichouse museums’ significance is the history that took place there, with interpretive themespresented to visitors being based on the historical background, and with preservation workdirected at saving the historic material. With modern house museums, the significance is thearchitectural design, with interpretive themes and preservation or restoration efforts revolvingaround the building’s design and the architect’s intentions. With these modern architectural sites,the interpretation is about the architecture, and social history is used to support the architecturalinterpretation. Instead of preserving the historic material and allowing patina to show as athistoric house museums, modern house museums have begun to concentrate on preserving thearchitectural design, staying true to the modern aesthetic rather than showing patina. TheKaufmann House (known as Fallingwater) (1934-39 in Mill Run, Pennsylvania), the GropiusHouse (1939 in Lincoln, Massachusetts), and the Farnsworth House (1945-1951 in Plano,Illinois) are three examples of modern house museums where the staff has adopted these newphilosophies to be used as case studies in this thesis.Modern house museums are an emerging type of house museum with more and morearchitecturally significant, Twentieth-Century homes opening to the public but, there are no setstandards or professional practice literature for the staff of these sites to follow. This thesisaddresses the differences between modern house museums and traditional historic housemuseums demonstrating the need for these new operational standards and offering examplesfrom practices currently in use that provide the basis for developing such standards.
