Curating the In-Between

This article explores how museum practices have evolved in producing knowledge, focusing on a new museum for life sciences and the environment. It proposes a curatorial practice that creates active zones of exchange, bringing together disciplines and breaking down traditional boundaries. This approach aims to produce new forms of knowledge and rethink human-environmental relations. Central to this is the reactivation of natural history collections. By weaving together a plurality of perspectives, material archives become portals into past, present and future ways of knowing. By highlighting human influence, often missing in depictions of nature, it aims to blur the lines between nature and culture. The article outlines these approaches with case studies and situates the future museum within a historical context.
