v/ Rune Clausen, The Green Museum
How does the country compare to the mink in Denmark?
In 2020, 17 million Danish mink were killed during the COVID pandemic. An almost 100-year-old agricultural and industrial adventure was shut down. Apparently. But the story of the small American predator's Danish life is far from over.
Rune Clausen is a curator at the Green Museum and works with the cultural history of hunting and animals. In his work, he deals with the relationship between humans, animals and industry – both historically and in contemporary contexts.
