Description
Summary:High above the rooftops of Marburg resides a treasure that many people pass by without noticing: the Museum of Religions (Religionskundliche Sammlung) at Philipps-University Marburg. Its employees make steady efforts to attract people’s attention, to bring them closer to religious objects, their stories and the study of religions. They offer exhibition catalogues, public tours and talks. However, the way up to the collection is challenging, and there are times when the objects remain alone and their stories untold. As these stories are worth hearing, the REDIM project decided that if the public would not go to the objects, the objects must be brought to the public. And thus, external science communication became a vital element of REDIM’s work.
