If you have the opportunity to visit the exhibition Thirst for Knowledge Meets Collecting Mania at the Museum der Kulturen in Basel,1 you will certainly be curious about the presence of an orange rectangle in one of the showcases, in which no objects are displayed. At first glance, you might think that this absence is due to a restoration problem, a loan that did not arrive in time, in short a technical problem. If you look closely, it actually says on the label that the object in question will not be on display, as it cannot be seen by everyone.
