57. Contemporary, but …..
• presented to the museum at the moment that
the gay community itself was losing interest
58. Relevant, but …..
• the musealisation process prohibits the active
use as
- personal remembrance of partners/relatives
- educational/activist tool outside the
museum space
59. Possible solutions …..
• Exploring the potential of intermediate forms
of case (“musealisation light”)
• Exploring the potential of shared ownership
(“dynamic collections”)
