Research infrastructure: SciCult-KHM
SciCult-KHM – Science for Cultural Heritage KHM – is a heritage science laboratory collaborating with research environments nationally and internationally.
Reference collection for Stone Age artefacts
The reference collection consists of about 16,000 experimentally produced and copied lithic artefacts, corresponding to artefact material found at Stone Age sites in Norway.
Analysis Committee
The analysis committee processes applications for analysis and sampling of objects and osteological material that are in the Cultural History Museum's collections.
Events
Can exhibitions be qualified as research-in-itself? If they can, then how? Which criteria should be the basis of evaluating and verify research exhibitions? The aim of the PhD course is to build a solid knowledge-base for understanding the relationship between exhibitions and research in the past and today, in order to collectively explore potentials and challenges for what can be called research-by-display.
