On April 1, 2024, Curator Bo Pagh Schultz had been employed at Fur Museum/Museum Salling for 25 years and of course we want to celebrate! Museum Salling therefore invites family and friends, colleagues and acquaintances related to Fur Museum to the anniversary reception.
This will be celebrated on Friday, April 19, 2024 at 15.30-17.30 at Fur Museum, Nederby 28, 7884 Fur.
During the event, Bo will give a short presentation about his crystal project. Museum Sallings/Fur Museum’s research geologist Bo Pagh Schultz can declare half of the puzzle solved by explaining the connection between glendonite and ikait. Everyone has heard of fur and most people have heard of piers. If you jump to names like glendonite and ikait, the connection and recognition is lost for most people. It’s pure geological geekery, but it’s our geekery. This is because the world’s largest glendonites are embedded in the molar and are on display at the museums on Fur and Mors. In this way, the crystals also qualify for World Natural Heritage status, where otherwise only a UNESCO site on the coast of Australia offers this kind of mineral geekery. The name ikait refers to how a glendonite was formed. Incidentally, ikaite is not that foreign a mineral to most people, as it turns out that ikaite helps make North Sea cheese crunch. So in reality, most people know ikaite by its taste.
Register no later than Tuesday, April 16th to: info@museumsalling.dk.
