Danish Museum Director Talks the History of Shit, Cutting up Dead Animals Ahead of Bookworm Talk

The days of stodgy and dull museum exhibits are reaching their end, at least if Rane Willerslev has anything to say about it. The director of the National Museum of Denmark, who will give a talk at the Bookworm on Nov 21 at 7.30pm, has previously installed “boring buttons” among his exhibits so that visitors could demonstrate if they weren’t charmed by what they saw. He also made the installations hands-on, covering zany topics like the history of plumbing.
