Shamans of Siberia - Between the worlds

The exhibition "Shamans of Siberia - Between the Worlds" takes visitors on a fascinating journey to the origins and transformations of shamanic practices. The focus is on the shamanism of Siberia, which can be impressively experienced through the unique Siberian collection of the Reiss-Engelhorn Museums and other top-class objects. Numerous exhibits, interactive stations and illustrations convey how shamans acted as mediators between humans, nature and the spirit world - and how their knowledge, their rituals and their service to the community still resonate today. The exhibition presents the wide range of shamanistic ideas and roles, questions clichés and sheds light on modern developments. It invites visitors to discover the change, diversity and enduring fascination of a spiritual practice that is widespread throughout the world.
