Who are you in a world on fire?

Writer: InkaInka

studying a museum display

"Who are you in a world on fire?" is the title on a new exhibition opening today at the Arctic University Museum in Tromsø.

The exhibition focus on six people in northern Norway during the war and their different choices and fates . The theme of the exhibition is also closely linked to what is going on in Europe today.

Some time ago I was contacted by the museum if I had some dioramas that could be displayed. Soon after I had sent over my portfolio they picked out four dios they wanted to have in the exhibition.

Me and the Girlfriend went over there this morning and got to spend a little time around the exhibition before the hoardes of visitors arrived. We were both pretty impressed by what the museum team had built up and it was of course great fun to see my own work displayed in very interesting ways.

Three of the dioramas one have to view through peep-holes, and they had added sounds to the scenes making it a bit eerie.

The exhibition will be shown there for the next two years and will later travel around to other museums and schools around the country :)
