Summary/Abstract: This is an article about the making of an exhibition as a device . “Connections: Objects in relation and context” was intended to be more as a tool of research rather than a well established museum exhibition. By selecting hundred and seven objects from all the collections, archives and stores of the museum, irrespectively of their origin and status, this exhibition functioned as a fragment that reflects the National Museum of the Romanian Peasant as a whole, with its complicated institutional pasts, present tensions and curatorial crises.
