From 29 February to 9 March 2008 the Natural History Museum in Berlin is stage for "HUM - The Art of Collecting - A Taxomaniac Parcours". The parcours leads through the Natural History Museum collection and touches on issues such as:
- The meaning of names, originals and order,
- The temporal validity of knowledge,
- The scope of cognition and pattern recognition,
- The economy of categories,
- The mental and vital capacity of our world.
The performance is complemented by interviews with the museum's custodians.
