- Synopsis: This is the 19th issue of a collection of 24 numbers. The cover and the inscription in the last page indicate: “Bulletin of New Acquisitions no. 27. Museum of Displays, Yuteval 1989. (2012).” The photos document old fashion displays, made in wood, formerly used to present small objects in Museum showcases. Due to contemporary preservation rules adopted by Museums and Galleries these wood displays are now an anachronism. Every photo is accompanied by a short technical file and description of an absent object that should fit in to each display.
