What now?Results of a joint brainstorming session on provenance research andrestitution in February 2023 in the team of the VolkskundemuseumWien:“I have become much more suspicious with new object acquisitions.”(research team)“Provenance research reminds us that our objects are often noteveryday items, but folk art, chosen and collected with feeling andwith a view to illustrating taste and to fostering national awareness.”(research team)“I now realise that collecting and curating are closely connectedwith the balance of power. Who collects and who curates? And whodetermines the value and meaning of collections?”(press and public relations)“I think it would be good if we could create some kind of footprint ofjustice and equitability for our objects – with reference to the variousforms of injustice we have to deal with: persecution, war, exploitation,power hierarchies …”(press and public relations)“Objects and collections become long-term companions, they remainin the mind, and we do everything possible to identify and assignthe objects in our depots. Restitution is an important conclusion tothis process.”(object handling and depot management)170
