We talked about the exhibition with the director of the museum, Julia Fabényi.

The picture came to life at once, and I could almost smell the scent of roasting meat.

Magazine | Walking around galleries or museums we rarely give a thought to how much preparation, research and organizing goes into an exhibition. One of the key actors in that process is the curator who is responsible for the success of the show from creating the concept to assembling the catalogue and doing guided tours.
