Siberia. Voices From the North

The temporary exhibition called Siberia. Voices from the North at the Ethnographic Museum in Kraków sought to explore connections between people and their living contexts at different times and in different spaces through collected objects now kept in museum storage. Objects originating from various Siberian cultures were all brought to this southern Polish city during the late 19th century by a variety of people. Leading up to the exhibit, extensive field research conducted in 2016–2019 produced valuable knowledge and an inexhaustible trove of stories. These stories brought some of the once “silent” museum objects into a sort of new life.
