Reconstruction, copy, replica, dummy… are the topics of Slovak Comittee ICOM (International Concils of Museums) seminar. A presence of copies in collections of museums and galleries seems to be matter of fact nowadays as well as building of exhibition collection or elementary documentation. Anyway the more critical perspective on exhibition projects and expositions says that the phenomenon „copy at museum“ still stays unreflected by expert comunity. It doesnt matter if it´s a quasi historical frame for painting, armor or replicas of whole traditional folk buildings in open air museums; nowadays copies aren´t in the dark corners of exhibitions they expand in space they ask for visitors attention but they can cause also frequent missunderstandings. The main concept of the seminar will be authenticity.
