Summary/Abstract: In the museum setting, various forms of data – written, visual, material, or digital – are pivotal for the preservation and display of cultural heritage. This research focuses on interpreting data as intangible elements within the museum environment, enveloping the exhibited or archived tangible objects. By referencing Arjun Appadurai’s concept of “thing” and its application to “data”, the study investigates how this data influences our perception and engagement with museum artifacts. Through a specific case study centered on an ethnographical photo collection, the research underscores the dynamic relationship between tangible objects and the intangible data that contextualizes and enhances our encounters with cultural heritage in museums.
