My former professor and mentor Hans Wilderotter died suddenly and unexpectedly and it is perhaps only now I realize how much he shaped who I am today. I am grateful for having known him and my thoughts are with his wife and those closest to him. My hat is off to one of the kindest and most […]

Es sind diese Dinge, von denen man hofft, sie nie schreiben zu müssen. Professor Hans Wilderotter gehörte sicherlich zu den Menschen, die mich am meisten geprägt haben. Meine Gedanken sind bei seiner Frau und allen, die ihm nahe standen. 🙏 […]

If you see me wearing this pin it is not a political statement. Because to me, human rights are not political, they are the inalienable right of every human being.

Taking a backup of your #museum #database can be crucial in the current political climate. You don't know when you will be forced to delete what you once knew about the objects in your museum and the people who made them. They might be too queer or don't have the right skin color. Better rescue […]
