摘要：History won’t wait for you “Don’t stop in the 70s, Thomas! History won’t wait for you”, said Olav Aaraas at a conference at Den Gamle By in 2009. We have now followed his call, and on the occasion of Den Gamle By’s 100 years centenary, we have initiated a collection of totalities and details from this very year, 2014. Until now Den Gamle By’s most recent focus year has been 1974 – and now this is already 40 years ago. So in order to be able to keep the museum’s relevance and a direct connection to present people’s memory we think it is important to go up in time. At the moment we are therefore collecting and documenting shops, living rooms, TV, papers, magazines, advertisements, radio, websites etc in order to be able to build a trustworthy totality that will give the museum’s visitors the feeling of being in the year 2014.
