Aus Anlass der Vergabe des Forschungspreises Angewandte Kunst 2018 an Dr. Christiane Elster für ihre Publikation „Die textilen Geschenke Papst Bonifaz‘ VIII. (1294-1303) an die Kathedrale von Anagni - päpstliche Paramente des späten Mittelalters als Medien der Repräsentation, Gaben und Erinnerungsträger“, Petersberg 2018.

Between 1906 and 1910 Museumskunde published two multi-part articles by young curators on the way museums "thought"--how they collected, organized, and displayed their holdings. The first, by Otto Lauffer, focused explicitly on the differences between historical and decorative arts museums; the second, by Oswald Richter, addressed the nature of ethnographic museums. These two articles, read together, represent an attempt to re-ground the museum of objects on more solid ground. Read in the light of Max Weber's exactly contemporaneous essays on the philosophical foundations of the methodology of the cultural sciences they represent an attempt to re-think museum studies as a discipline.
