Museums (ethnological, scientific, historical and social etc) have always been a great source of ideas and materials for the artist. From the physical and material structure of objects to their latent and psychological and cultural/sociological meaning, artists have sought to harvest all this potential from the contents of museums and archives. How and why objects have been collected , the 'before' and 'after' research /story outside the public display of objets within the museum , are all part of the process of investigation.
