”Museumsudstillingen i det 21. århundrede” – en kurs vid museumshøjskolen

”The Museum Exhibition in the 21st Century” The main topic of this inter-Nordic course was the production methods of film, and discussion as to whether these methods can be transferred to the production of museum exhibitions. The course also included visits to three recent exhibitions in Denmark: ”Verdens spejl” (Mirror of the World) at the Ethnographic Museum, ”Danish Porcelain” at the Museum of Arts and Crafts and ”100 Chinese” by Juan Muñoz at Louisiana. The first mentioned exhibition had caused quite a lot of debate in Denmark, as many people thought the design distracted attention from the content. The subject itself was also controversial: items from all over the world, collected by Danish scientists and other travellers, were exhibited without this activity being in any way questioned.
