The exhibition “Shamans of Siberia – Between Worlds” at the Museum of World Cultures of the Reiss-Engelhorn Museums focuses on the origins and transformations of shamanic practices in Siberia. It provides insight into the cultural, religious, and historical contexts associated with these traditions.
Central to the exhibition are around 200 objects that illustrate different aspects of shamanic practices and their development. The exhibition examines both the origins and the changes that shamanic traditions in Siberia have undergone over time. This creates a thematic approach to a diverse cultural and religious world.
Objects, Interaction, and Mediation
In addition to the exhibits, visitors can expect interactive stations and illustrations. These complement the displayed objects and convey background information in an illustrative manner. The combination of historical items, interactive elements, and visual representation invites viewers to consider the content from various perspectives.
The exhibition makes clear how shamanic practices can be understood within their respective cultural and religious contexts. At the same time, it focuses on changes and developments. Thus, it connects the examination of historical foundations with the question of how traditions transform and evolve.
