Recommended
(museum-digital: Mandatory)
The object description should describe the object or work briefly and concisely. It should be written in a way that requires as little prior knowledge as possible and is understandable to a wide audience. The object description should contain as many relevant keywords as possible to make it easier to find the object record in a free text search. If the object description text is subject to special usage rights (e.g. copyright), this should be indicated in a separate data element (in LIDO: <lido:objectDescriptionRights>, from LIDO v1.1).
AI writing assistants can be used to generate inclusive description texts. However, the result should always be checked by an editor and amended if necessary.
The façade architecture of the cabinet is modelled on ancient theatres. With its ingenious system of compartments and drawers, it was used to store the treasures collected in the Kunstkammer. As well as being functional furniture, the cabinet itself is also a work of art. The ivory panels show extensive imagery: the founders of the four great empires of Antiquity and the deeds of the virtuous ancient hero Hercules. The pull-out writing tablet contains a rotatable world map that refers to the Habsburgs and suggests that the cabinet was made for King Phillip II of Spain.
