ANNUAL LECTURE PROGRAM
The guests of the lecture will learn about the phenomenon of collecting — its history, where it came from, main changes and key figures.
What makes people do it? How private collections turn into public exhibitions? The transformation of museums from a closed into a public space, and its contents from real to virtual — how did it happen?
At the lecture, we will explore these questions, as well as the history of cabinets of rarities and how they invited people to learn about the world around them.
