Discover Historical Objects and Rituals from the World of Siberia

The special exhibition “Shamans of Siberia – Between the Worlds” at the Reiss-Engelhorn-Museums Mannheim focuses on the shamanic concepts and traditions of Siberia. The center of attention is historical evidence of a diverse spiritual culture and the question of how humans understand their relationship to the world, nature, and invisible forces.

On display are historical objects, ritual figures, and interactive stations. The different exhibition areas connect original exhibits with opportunities for active engagement. This provides visitors insights into shamanic ways of thinking and traditions, without the exhibition being limited to a purely factual object presentation.

Insights into Shamanic Concepts

The title “Between the Worlds” refers to the special role of shamanic concepts: At the core are transitions, rituals, and the connection of different levels of reality. The exhibition makes these themes comprehensible through selected objects and figures and shows the significance that ritual items can have within shamanic traditions.

The interactive stations complement the historical exhibits and invite visitors to engage more deeply with the content. Thus, the special exhibition offers both a visual access and stimuli for one's own exploration of the represented traditions.

Visit in Mannheim

The exhibition is aimed at everyone interested in the cultures of Siberia, religious concepts, and historical objects. Even those who know little about shamanism can use the presentation to learn about central themes and forms of expression.

“Shamans of Siberia – Between the Worlds” will be on display on November 4, 2026, at the Reiss-Engelhorn-Museums in Mannheim.
