Δ Expert Guided Tour, Exhibition "Object Atlas- Fieldwork in the Museum"

The exhibition “Object Atlas – Fieldwork in the Museum” examines which forms an artistic involvement with anthropological objects can take in a museum today.

Instead of travelling to far-away lands, the artists undertook fieldwork expeditions in the Weltkulturen Labor at Schaumainkai 37.

During their investigation of the collection’s objects, the artists were accompanied by the research curators of each collection from their first visit to the museum stores to the presentation of the newly produced works in the exhibition.
