1 EN Spitzmaus Mummy in a Coffin and other Treasures WES ANDERSON & JUMAN MALOUF

2 THE EXHIBITION 1400 At the invitation of the Kunsthistorisches Museum, the filmmaker Wes Anderson and his partner, writer and illustrator Juman Malouf, have spent two years combing through the museum s historical collections. More than 400 remarkable objects are presented, many of which come directly from the museum s storage rooms and have never before been shown in public. Among them are Egyptian, Greek and Roman antiquities, Old Master paintings, selections from the Kunstkammer and the Imperial Treasury, items from the Imperial Armoury, Coin Collection, and Collection of Historic Musical Instruments, as well as pieces from the Theatermuseum, the Weltmuseum, the Imperial Carriage Museum, and Schloss Ambras Innsbruck. A handful of special guests from the Natural History Museum have also found a place in the exhibition. The gathering and arrangement of these treasures from the earliest, a necklace of ceramic beads strung together in Ancient Egypt, to the most recent, a wooden monkey carved in Indonesia almost 5,000 years later suggest the spectacular breadth, depth, history, and complexity of the Kunsthistorisches Museum s collections. THE CURATORS Wes Anderson was born in Houston, Texas. His films include The Royal Tenenbaums, Fantastic Mr. Fox and The Grand Budapest Hotel. His latest film, Isle of Dogs, came out in Juman Malouf was born in Beirut, Lebanon and grew up in London. She has designed and illustrated for theatre, film, and fashion in the US and Europe. Her first novel, The Trilogy of Two, was published in 2015.

3 WES ANDERSON While Juman Malouf and I can take no credit for the conception and creation of any of the works of art included in this exhibition, we do harbor the humble aspiration that the unconventional groupings and arrangement of the works on display may influence the study of art and antiquity in minor, even trivial, but nevertheless detectable ways for many future generations to come. Some of the links are more immediately apparent than others. We situate the seventeenth century emerald vessel in a confined space opposite the bright green costume from a 1978 production of Hedda Gabler in order to call attention to the molecular similarities between hexagonal crystal and Shantung silk; we place the painting of a seven-year-old falconer (Emperor Charles V) next to the portrait of a four-year-old dog owner (Emperor Ferdinand II) in order to emphasize the evolution of natural gesso; a box for the storage of Spanish powdered wigs goes next to a case for the storage of the crown of the king of Italy because both were so clearly shaped and formed by the introduction of the hinge. The list goes on. True: one of the Kunsthistorisches Museum s most senior curators (educated, of course, at the University of Heidelberg) at first failed to detect some of the, we thought, more blatant connections; and, even after we pointed most of them out, still questions their curatorial validity in, arguably, all instances. But, should our experiment fail on these levels, we are, nevertheless, confident it will, at the very least, serve the purpose of ruling out certain hypotheses, thereby advancing the methods of art history through the scientific process of trial-anderror. (In this case, mostly error.) Our hope, however, is we will shed some light into corners that had previously been too dim for comfortable viewing.
