Welcome
The Museum You Carry: A book launch at Postmuseum
Wednesday 18th November, Postmuseum, Lilla Nygatan 6, Gamla Stan, Stockholm
In 1906, the Swedish Post Office opened a museum about itself housed in seven rooms of its old post house. A working post office continued in the same building. One kept the past. The other carried the post.
Most organisations never do this. Their culture sits in the same building as their work, with no room of its own. The Museum You Carry gives it six. It also offers C.U.R.I.O., a simple method for deciding what to keep, what to change, and what to let go.
"The museum shall not wait in lofty seclusion for people to come and pick the fruits of knowledge. The museum shall step towards people and offer them these fruits."
Erik Lannge, Postmuseum's first director, 1906
Offer is the last step of C.U.R.I.O. Tonight is our Offer to you.
“For perhaps the first time ever, we have a book that lifts the veil on what an organisation actually is: a collection of artefacts that are sometimes obvious, sometimes obscure, and, very occasionally, magical. Honest and ground-breaking work.”
