As part of the seminars "What can you do with history? Staged history in academia, exhibitions, theatre and consumption" by Dr Jessica Cronshagen, "Between Oldenburg and St. Croix. Herrschaftspraxis und regionale Kommunikationsräume der dänisch-oldenburgischen Personalunion - Ausstellungsprojekt" by Prof. Dr Dagmar Freist and "Ausstellungsprojekt Herrschaft als Kommunikationsraum - die Grafschaft Oldenburg in Personalunion mit Dänemark 1667-1774" by Dr Ruth Schilling, Dr Angela McShane was invited to a two-day workshop.

The workshop in Oldenburg will begin with a visit to the Maritime Museum in Bremerhaven on 24 November 2016, where various approaches to staging history will be discussed on the basis of a "workshop tour" through exhibitions that are currently being designed. The main focus will be on the question of how "strenuous and challenging" exhibitions can and should be. On Friday 25 November, Angela McShane will provide insights into her work at the Victoria&Albert Museum in London. Here, students will have the opportunity to gain insights into the conception of exhibitions and to deal with questions of exhibition ethics.
