Muntentoren
Castle Huis Bergh, 's Heerenberg
2003, part of long-range project 1998 - 2003
The coin collection is exhibited in one of the castle towers. In order to give the predominantly tiny objects a context, a large showcase has been placed in the middle of the tower. Thus the coins can be admired from all sides while one is seated. An ingenious system with mirrors, devised in co-operation with Markus Engeli, shows the front as well as the back of each coin. The LED lighting allows the precious objects to sparkle one by one.
