Introduction
Over time, there are a variety of means by which the original form of a piece of art is lost, including intentional manipulation, unintentional damage, and repair. As a result, the way that modern individuals view these objects is through the lens of a new art form, and thus the original objects, over time, take on new meaning. Often times, this meaning is similar to that of the original objects, as the result of careful curation and exhibition. However, most of the time, since objects take on a different context from where they were designed, and their fragmentation paints a unique picture of them, modern viewers experience these objects in unique ways. This exhibit will investigate how these factors play into our understanding of the objects from Middle Ages.
This exhibit will be very interactive and will present you with many questions that are aimed to guide you through the collection.
