Museumsgenstanden som relikvie

Funen Relics Funen Relics is the tide of a coming exposition at Odense Bys Museer. While working on the exposition several discussions have arisen on the issue of the necessity - or lack of it - of the object. In many expositions the object is used to illustrate a text, which can be read on large plates. The objects are therefore in a certain sense superfluous, since the message is perfectly understandable without their use. On the other hand it is impossible to let the object stand alone, because objects don't speak. They must be spoken for.
