The project wanted to be a common manifestation in the context of the Millennium. At Bohusläns museum, the subject of the exhibition became DESCRIPTION on the theme existed 1000 years ago, exists in 1000 years. The objects had classical shapes, simple objects in which several millennia have found their design. Objects and photos gave a brief sweep through Västra Götaland in time and space on a number of current themes. Items from all times were selected from the collections and supplemented with the purchase of their modern counterparts, most recently from Åhlén. Some of the everyday objects were taken to the collections to complement large older objects categories with contemporary counterparts. In Bohusläns museum’s exhibition there was a mailbox where visitors could put their comments and thoughts about the future. The letter harvest is in the museum’s archives.
