Frames without pictures, upholstery fabric remnants, data sets without objects and heaps of old packaging and historical object labels - where does a museum object actually begin and end? At the end of the general inventory, we follow the remnants, accessories and data corpses of objects. And we ask what their collection value and significance as historical cultural heritage actually is.
