The workshop ‘What object is this?’ of March 13, 2021 investigated the salt shaker
When you hear “salt shaker”, what image comes to your mind?
One word for two different objects; however, container of the same salt. Table salt and salt shaker for food preparation. It is possible to raise many hypotheses about the invention of the two objects. One is that the taste for salt in the meal is debatable. There is a recipe for each person regarding the amount of salt.
Too much salt, kills the dish. Little salt: tasteless, bland.
What else can we think about the salt of life? What about the designs of this container that is not always functional and sometimes leaves the salt wet?

About the MCB Educational
The Educational MCB proposes practices that articulate the look, doing and thinking so that visitors can assume the role of researchers, researching the contents that the museum offers in a contemporary perspective. The idea is to create challenges for participants in educational activities to raise questions from their own experiences and discover new meanings by relating the visit to the MCB with their lives.
