The coordinators say:

"Director of the National Museum of Denmark, Rane Willerslev, a household name in Denmark, will give a talk at the Bookworm and discuss the value of history in the internet age with the audience.

Rane Willerslev is an anthropologist and an active communicator. In order to spark the interest for traditional museum culture, he has used untraditional methods and have introduced a ‘boringbutton’ that visitors can press. The director is also the main character of a documentary series - Ranes Museum. The first series followed his first six months as director of the National Museum. His humorous and talkative personality quickly made him a household name in Denmark and helped bridge the gap to the new generation of museumgoers. The second series is not under production and one episode will be filmed while he is visiting China.

In addition to his academic research, Willerslev often discusses topics such as society, education, and women's rights in the media."
