About the
Event

Arranging and arresting: These activities have shaped the image of museums since their inception. Yet activities such as acquiring, collecting, combining and re-sorting have been no less central to the action behind museum walls. On a fact-finding mission through selected museums in Hamburg, we together with local experts will explore the movements of things, knowledge and everyday practices, people and points of view, without which museum collections would never have come about and research results or exhibition narratives would have been unthinkable today. We will not only examine the historical contexts behind the creation of the institutions in Hamburg, which have been significantly influenced by mobility, as well as distinctive intrainstitutional/inner-city movements in and between the display cases, but also the current mobility requirements facing museums in light of the use of digital media, links to urban space via apps or the necessary flexibility in terms of narrative styles and perspectives.
