Curiouser and Curiouser 2011

Curiouser and Curiouser was a conference that took place in March 2011 by the PhD students at the University of Leicester's School of Museum Studies. It set out to deconstruct the ideas of normality and eccentricity in museums and heritage institutions. What exactly is normal and what is idiosyncratic or eccentric? The conference questioned whether there is a true distinction between these terms, explore new possibilities of definition and shed new light on the standard notion of collections, collecting and interpretation. We wished to take an unusual approach to the ‘unusual’ and ask what is appropriate or permissible, what creates the eccentric and why we are fascinated by it. The conference proceedings are archived with the tag 'curiouser'.
