Accompanied by expert guides, journey through time and spaces far beyond Europe, following fascinating stories of people and objects that traveled the world from colonial times to the present day. Learn about the explorers, missionaries, collectors, traders, and sailors whose gifts and discoveries shaped the Collection of Non-European Cultures, and discover the stories carried by the objects they brought.
Find out about Dragutin Lerman’s role in the colonial project of Belgian King Leopold II, what Tibor Sekelj did in Australia, and the connection between Milka Trnina and the American collector William Bigelow. As a counterpoint to historical travels, you will also encounter contemporary ethnographic research from the ERIM project, which tracks irregular migrations on the periphery of the European Union.
Expert guidance offers the opportunity not just to view the exhibition, but to understand the layered contexts behind each object and story.
