Class or mass ? Why we collect what
The collections of the Tyrolean State Museums are extremely diverse. Millions of objects are kept here – for very different reasons. The “value” of objects for the collection is not always recognisable at first glance.
Over the course of the afternoon, museum professionals will show you pairs of objects from different eras and collections that may seem very similar on the surface. Are you able to recognise why which object was considered worth collecting?
In conversation with the staff of the Tyrolean Provincial Museums, the considerations behind a diverse and valuable collection are revealed.
