Boeddel visited on 31st Jan 2023 - their rating: Cond: 5 Amb: 4 I've never spent so many hours in a museum. I was finally able to look at so many finds I finally wanted to see in real, especially some from Bornholm. The big city around has always kept me from going there. But it was definitely worth it for the museum.

Subversive captions in the prehistory galleries at Denmark’s National Museum by Andy B on Tuesday, 06 November 2012
(User Info | Send a Message)
As part of the Skabt af tiden (Shaped by time) exhibition in the prehistory galleries at Denmark’s National Museum, 28 contemporary artists were asked to create works to go in the gallery, responding to the objects and displays.

Pat Hadley picks as stand out works the ‘extra’ captions provided by author, poet and journalist Merete Pryds Helle. Here is her caption on Mesolithic harpoon points in the National Museum of Denmark

Fishing spear
This fishing spear was used by fishermen Skæl and Søle one May morning in the year of 8232 BCE to catch a tuna fish off the coast of Fænø. In view of the fact that rice was not yet grown in the region, Søle was forced to produce their tuna sushi exclusively using wild grains and the bitter horseradish that Fænø remains famous for. It is possible to order a meal in Copenhagen’s restaurant Noma based entirely on Søle’s original recipe.

These captions brilliantly satirise both the tone, content and form of the original captions and are far more subversive than most of the visual or sculptural works. In the original captions, the museum has deliberately decided not to separate basic empirical facts (where something was found, what material it is) from more interpretive statements. One caption, under a case of antler tools and objects, is a particularly clear example:

Deer antler – a magical material
Antlers are symbols of power. The stags shed them every spring to grow a new and larger set. Stag antlers in the hunters’ graves show that the material was ascribed magical properties. Men’s weapons like axes were made of antler and the material was used for shafts, harpoons etc. Antlers shed in the woods were also used.

[Note this is a genuine caption not a satirical one! - MegP Ed]

Though they are all placed on the outside of cases, the ‘extra’ captions are in the same typeface as the originals and a little surreptitious watching made it clear that many visitors were unaware that they were not official at first. However, as incredulity kicked in many visitors reacted in similar ways: at first laughing at the captions, then at their own credulity and then re-engaging with the original captions in a far more critical and active manner.

Sadly, the Skabt af tiden captions were removed on the 1st October 2012. I think they should have kept them.

Early Iron Age fashion from Denmark by Andy B on Tuesday, 06 November 2012
(User Info | Send a Message)
posted by bat400 on Tuesday, 10 July 2012

Colourful patterned clothes appear in the early Iron Age according to new analyses of 180 textile samples from 26 different bog finds, carried out by Ulla Mannering, a senior researcher and archaeologist at the Danish National Research Foundation’s Centre for Textile Research at the National Museum.

“The beginning of the Iron Age sparked a revolution in fashion in which clothes became coloured and patterned,” she says. Conventional theory held that access to colourful textiles only emerges in Scandanavia in the centuries after the 1st centuries AD. This discovery pushes back the date by at least 500 years.

The new analyses also shows that the bog bodies from which the textiles were taken are older than previously thought with most of them dating back more than 2,000 years.

The discovery also challenges the view that the bodies, which had been buried in an ancient sacrificial bog, where prisoners or poorer people, who for some reason had been destined to be sacrificed or punished.

Clothes make the person


The new findings represent a fresh start in the attempts to understand why the bodies ended up in the bog and the costumes play an important role in this work. “The textiles have not previously been taken into account when assessing the social status these people had,” she says.

One bog body that has been of particular interest to Mannering and her colleagues is the woman from Huldremose, whose body was found in a marsh in Jutland 19 May 1879. Her costume consisted of two sheepskin coats, a skirt and a scarf, woven from naturally coloured wool.

On closer examination, it becomes clear that she was richly attired, with a coat made from the skins of around 14 sheep, a long skirt and a scarf, with a petticoat made from nettle. However, not only was her costume of a high quality, it also had many colours, particularly red, which was not widely used at the time.

“We don’t know how she died, but her coloured costume suggests a high status,” says the archaeologist.

The analyses revealed that in the early Iron Age, people were able to dye their clothes yellow, blue and red. The manufacture of garments with several different colours has required a mastery of many dyeing techniques that made use of various dyebaths.

They found no colours or patterns in Bronze Age costumes and so the early Iron Age must have witnessed some technological advance that led to the ability to produce garments and clothing designs in all sorts of colours.
