Welcome to lectures with free entry from 17.45pm!
From 1893 and a bit into the 1930s, thousands of objects in Kulturen's collections were depicted in carefully executed drawings and watercolor paintings on so-called catalog cards. The artists were mainly women. The works were part of the museum order that was required to get an overview of the ever-growing collection of objects. Today they constitute an artistic treasure, but they also give a sense of how people more than a hundred years ago arranged their world around them.
