Abstract: 

Inge Daniel’s book talks about the importance of everyday objects in museum displays, multisensory exhibitions, theatricality, using photography not as object, but as context and as a facilitator of creating atmosphere, and last but not least, about objects which end up not in museum’s stores, but in visitors’ homes.
