Het Nederlands Openluchtmuseum werd opgericht in 1912 en viert dit jaar zijn eeuwfeest. Al die tijd beslisten conservatoren welke voorwerpen werden opgenomen in de collectie. Spullen die door gewone mensen werden gebruikt. Nu draaide het museum de rollen om en vroeg het publiek om mee te denken en zelfs om in de toekomst te kijken om te bepalen welke voorwerpen van nu voor de toekomst moeten worden bewaard.
Een museumjury maakte een selectie van 50 voorwerpen en aan het publiek werd gevraagd om te stemmen. Het resultaat "De Tien van 2012":
Huissleutels
waveboard
gourmetstel
spaarlamp
wasknijper
spellinggids vd Nederlandse taal

koffiezetapparaat
de CD 21 van Adele

"I've See Things" is at The Dowse Art Museum from 7 July until 11 November 2012
45 Laings Road, Lower Hutt, New Zealand
From July, Fallen Robot will be on permanent display in The Square in front of The Dowse.
Melbourne-based New Zealand artist Ronnie van Hout is known for creating endless, intriguing versions of himself in his exhibitions and in I’ve Seen Things, from 7 July, he takes on the role of cult leader, inserting himself into the larger story of Canterbury religious cult, The Full Gospel Mission. The exhibition also coincides with the unveiling, just in front of The Dowse, of another crazy Ronnie creation. Fallen Robot is a public sculpture that lies in a shallow pool in Lower Hutt’s new Civic Square.
