Conference Alert: Collecting and the Princely Apartment
From H-Museum:
Collecting and the Princely Apartment
Conference on Collecting and Display, 100 BC to AD 1700
Ottobeuren (Germany), Abbey of Ottobeuren
July 13-17, 2007
The history of collecting is becoming an increasingly important field of
cultural history, attracting specialists from a wide range of disciplines,
such as art historians, archaeologists, court and book historians. Thus it
functions as a forum for interdisciplinary discussion unparalleled in most
other fields of research.
Interesting though the building of collections, the hunt for specific
objects, and the fate of the successful or ruined collector are in their own
right, the issue of display must not be forgotten. In fact, a specific form
of display was often seen as vital for the enjoyment and understanding of
the exhibits. In some cases the same importance was given to developing an
appropriate form of display as to gaining ownership of desirable objects.
Convenors: Dr Andrea Gáldy, Susan Bracken, Adriana Turpin
