Dion sees natural historical museums as sites where academic findings about nature are presented to a wide audience and at the same time insight is given into a fixation of natural phenomena that (nevertheless) does not correspond to the actual course of nature. The “truths” presented to the audience are critically questioned, ironized, but also constructively renewed in Dion’s work. Dion questions the value criteria of the museum, museum-scientific work, and the expectations of visitors.
