Do Touch - IHME Project 2015
“The stars of Helsinki museums are coming to you, unleashed in your neighborhood. Get ready for the
greatest show and tell on Earth.”
– Jeremy Deller
Do touch has been imagined for IHME Project 2015. In this work the public on their everyday rounds
will momentarily be faced with their shared past, when museum objects leave their glass cases and make their
way into the hands of city residents in public spaces. People will have a chance to inspect selected objects
from the collections of Helsinki’s historical museums for a week or more in March 2015.
The project is a collaboration with the following museums: National Museum of Finland, Helsinki City
Museum, Military Museum of Finland, Customs Museum and Museum of Technology.
