Collecting is more on the "to have side" than sport or action which would be more on the "to be side".
The best is to do both!

1) Georg Forster I (ca. 1510 - 1568) Liederbuch PublisherDoc

Georg Forster "Liederbuch" - Nürnberg 1565 - Band 1

Besides his professions as medical doctor, GEORG FORSTER was music lover, author, composer, collector and editor in ONE person.
His five collections of popular and tenor songs are an important document of "burgeois" music culture of the early 16th century.

In the edition of 'Des andern theyls ... Teutscher Liedlein ...' (the other part of german songs...), Nurnberg 1565 the separate parts for ‘Discantus’, ‘Altus’, ‘Tenor’ und ‘Bassus’ have been set together in a partition for modern use. They contain songs about drinking, hunting, humoristic stories, love songs and court songs and even erotical songs.

Although Forster does not use the addition '... auff allerley Instrumenten zu brauchen' ('to play with several instruments') but explicitely '... zu singen' ('for singing') it is recommended to perform it with added instruments as the historical ones of that time like 'Flöten, Krummhörner, Cornamusen, Dulciane, Pommern und Schalmeien, Lauten, Gitarren und Gamben'. ANY combination from "a capella" to instrumental seems to be interesting.

12) Prinzhorn Collection Heidelberg

Since 2001 there is a Prinzhorn-museum in Heidelberg where the collection of this psychiatrist about pictures from psychiatric patients is demonstrated.

Fund: The core collection comprises approximately 5000 pieces of art created by approx. 450 patients of psychiatric institutions. These pieces comprise mostly drawings, water colors, writings, like letters, notes, drafts of books and exercise books, which were often self-manufactured, as well as oil paintings, material manual work, collages and 70 wooden sculptures

Authors/Artists: Approximately 450 Patients of all ages, social classes and professions. Only 20% of the artists are female. The duration of admission is diverse, sometimes lifelong or unclear because of missing case files.

Sites of Origin: State-run or private institutions and asylums in Germany, but also in Switzerland, Austria, some in Italy, France, Poland and Japan.

Affiliated Collections: In addition to the core Prinzhorn collection, permanent loans and donations were deposited in the Psychiatric Clinic, such as works created at the Rhine Federal Hospital Viersen (around 1900), wooden sculptures by Carl Genzel from the Wesphalia Psychiatric and Psychotherapeutic Clinic, Eickelborn near Lippstadt (approx. 1920), the Petschner Collection, Psychiatric Hospital Merxhausen, Bad Emstal (1960-1980), as well as works of art of contemporary patient-artists.

Documentation: A data bank of the collection is in process. A nearly complete photo library can be viewed by appointment. Almost 2/3 of the case files could be found and their main data could be compiled. (Access for scientific purposes).

13) http://www.deutsches-apotheken-museum.de

German pharmacy museum! As you see from the history the pharmacists are sort of collective collectors!

Being established as a foundation in 1937 the German Museum of Pharmacy was opened in Munich in 1938. The exhibits consisted exclusively of donations of the profession: The extensive private collections of the Rath family, Frankfurt (former owners of the Vial & Uhlmann Co.) and of the Heinrici family, Halle, built up the basis which was completed by numerous single donations.

Only a few years later – meanwhile the museum had closed down as a result of the outbreak of World War II – the building and a part of the collections that had not been transferred into safe store-rooms were hit by fire bombs and totally destroyed. After the end of the war the German Museum of Pharmacy found a temporary domicile for the collections which escaped happily from the destructions of the war in the prince-episcopal residence of Bamberg. As a matter of fact most of the stocks were saved. In 1958 the official reopening of the museum took place at Heidelberg in the Ottheinrich palace which used to be its location until today.

The purpose of the foundation can be described with the keywords enlargement, preservation and maintenance of the collections in order to depict the history of pharmacy in a lively arranged museum. These statutes have shaped the honorary work of the foundation until today and are guaranteed not least by the constant support of the profession of dispensing chemists and their umbrella organization – the Bundesvereinigung Deutscher Apothekerverbände (ABDA).

The climax of collection is to have an own museum,
so also MuseumDocs can be found here!
