Mattias Bäckström
About
Mattias Bäckström is Professor of Cultural Heritage Management, specializing in exhibition studies, heritage studies and museology. He has a PhD and holds the title of Reader of History of Ideas and Science at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden.
Mattias has extensive professional experience from the museum sector and heritage sector. For example, he has worked as a curator and exhibition producer at the Västernorrland County Museum, but also as head of activities for its open-air museum.
For more than 30 years, Mattias has held curatorial or scholarly positions and conducted research and teaching in and about the museum sector and heritage sector in Scandinavian and North European countries.
Mattias is coordinator of the interdisciplinary and cross-sectoral research group Museology and Museum Research at NTNU. Furthermore, he is associate editor of the Norwegian Museum Journal, which publishes peer-reviewed, scholarly articles on topics relevant to the museum sector. He is also alternate member of the Board of NCK Nordic Centre of Heritage Learning and Creativity.
New scholarly monograph
In September 2024, the scholarly monograph The Fifth Sahlgrenska as a medical media system. Uses of media in the clinical, management and museal activities of the hospital city in Gothenburg 1933–1959 was published in Swedish by Makadam förlag.
Mattias Bäckström is the lead author. Robert Wallsson and Lisa Sputnes Mouwitz at the Medical History Museum in Gothenburg are co-authors. Through their cross-sectoral cooperation, they show how the uses of media looked like at the Sahlgrenska Hospital, including at the surgery clinic and the hospital museum. How did key actors produce and use exhibitions, films, photographs, sciopticon images, wire recordings and x-ray images in their clinical, management and museum activities? The book presents new knowledge at the intersection of media history, medicine history and museum history.
University and higher education sector
In his scholarly and educational work, Mattias focuses on the history, theory and practice of heritage and museums, exhibitions and collections, as well as on the history of science, history of media, and history of architecture and the built environment.

Between 2015 and 2018, Mattias was a Postdoctoral Fellow in Heritage and the History of Knowledge at the Centre for Museum Studies at the University of Oslo in Norway. Mattias has also studied at Uppsala University in Sweden, where he wrote his Bachelor’s thesis and Master’s thesis in Art History with emphasis on the History of Architecture and the Built Environment.
The scholarly monograph To build content with exhibitions. Exhibition production as research process was reissued in a new edition in 2021. This book in Swedish is published by the Nordic Academic Press (print book in 2016 and 2021, e-book in 2017) and by MTM Swedish Agency for Accessible Media (audio book in 2018).
The point of departure of this monograph is Mattias’s own experiences from university research and exhibition productions. In the book, he studies exhibiting as idea and process from the 1750s to the 2010s, as well as exhibiting through theoretical and practical perspectives. He also discusses thoroughly a new kind of essayistic research activity that takes place in and by means of exhibition productions: exhibition-specific research in and by means of the exhibition as essay.

In 2012, Mattias successfully defended his PhD thesis in History of Ideas and Science, which was undertaken at the Department of Literature, History of Ideas, and Religion at the University of Gothenburg: Hearths of the heart. Folk life, folk museums and historical memorials in Scandinavia, 1808–1907, published in Swedish by Gidlunds förlag in 2012.
A comparative study of ideas and practices at the Nordic Museum, Danish Folk Museum and Norwegian Folk Museum, the doctoral thesis deals with, among other things, how these museums of cultural history joined together ideas and conceptions about art, morality and science with historical remains and reconstructions when creating their exhibitions, museal dioramas and other museal stagings.

He is currently supervisor of an exhibition-as-research project at the National Museum in Oslo. Mattias also participates as an invited researcher and expert in two cross-institutional projects on active collaboration with funding from Arts and Culture Norway: ‘Carving out a space’ with the Randsfjord Museum as project owner; ‘Lasting Competence Improvement’ with the Norwegian Industrial Workers Museum as project owner.

Ongoing research
In his ongoing research work, Making things matter. Meaning and materiality in museum displays, Mattias examines how museums in Berlin, Copenhagen, London and Stockholm (from c.1880 to c.1920) used and reshaped concepts of knowledge in and by means of exhibited collections and permanent exhibitions. How did these museums shape art history, cultural history and prehistory?
