ROSKILDE 1.0

LEAVING THE MUSEUM AS WE KNOW IT

‘Leaving the museum, as we know it’ was organized by the Museum of Contemporary Art in Roskilde within the context of the network Museum Why, and also in connection with the museum’s first exhibition in the former psychiatric hospital, Sankt Hans, which will be the museum’s main exhibition platform for the next three years. The seminar was held in one the most famous hospital buildings, Kurhuset, from 1860, and a guided tour of the exhibition ‘Non Performing’ was part of the programme.

The program included international thinkers and practitioners to share both reflections and concrete cases and aimed to create an open space for exchange and discussion around these exciting themes and ongoing institutional developments.
