| 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. |
