An Insiders selection!
Drammens Museum has been a museum since 1908, and we like to say that we have approx. 50,000 items in our collection. In the collection we have "ones" within their genre, such as trophies from Nøstetangen, silver objects from famous silversmiths in Drammen, rose-painted objects by Herbrand Sata, textiles woven by Frida Hansen and paintings by JC Dahl.
But most of the collection consists of items used and given by ordinary people, and that means that we have items in all categories: jewelry, chests, clothes, pictures, tools and weapons just to name a few. In 2018, the collection and exhibition coordinator at the museum, Nancy K. Nyrud, has taken up the challenge by creating an exhibition based on her knowledge of the collections through 25 years of work at the museum. There will be a personal selection where she will focus on exhibiting beautiful objects, quirky and special things and personal belongings used by workers or nice ladies. There will be missing trees made by devoted men to their chosen ones, textiles embroidered in candles, jewelry of gold, silver and hair (!), Special planers made to the carpenter's needs, spouts, travel boxes etc. The exhibition rooms in the Lychee Pavilion will be filled with objects most often found in the magazines. This will be a great opportunity to see objects that are otherwise not very prominent!
The exhibition opens in February 2018.
