Welcome to the conference Texts and Things at the Norwegian Museum of Science and Technology, February 16th – 17th 2017.
The exhibition Grossraum − Organisation Todt and Forced Labour in Norway 1940−45 opens at the Norwegian Museum of Science and Technology on February 16th 2017. The exhibition results from amalgamation of extensive scholarly research and experimental exhibition making.
In partnership with the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), the Museum wishes to use this occasion to invite scholars from different fields and backgrounds to discuss novel ways of integrating research, exhibition making, and outreach activities.
The first day of the conference will discuss the connection between academic research and museum exhibitions, while the second day will focus on the two prosjects underlying the conference, the research project on Organisation Todt and forced labour in Norway, and The thing’s method-project.

At the 16th, the conference will be combined with the exhibition opening and an arrangement called "SENT", which is a late night event at the museum with different scenes, talks and arrangements for our adult visitors.
