Dear colleagues,
When I first saw pictures from the project “Skeletons in the Closet” by
Klaus Pichler, I was overwhelmed. Somebody did something I and certainly
many of my colleagues have often thought about: someone should take a
picture of THAT. A deer looks flabbergasted at a fox, a dinosaur is lost
in ladders, short: the beautiful and absurd compositions that appear
when collections and everyday museum work meet...
I asked him if we could show some of his pictures on "Registrar Trek"
and he replied "if the people who work with the objects every day
understand my approach and my impressions I'm really glad". He was so
happy that he wrote a text exclusively for us about how it was working
together with the staff members at the Natural History Museum in Vienna.
Enjoy the read:
