Into the World: A journey through the photographic collection of the 丁香园AV Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology

Into the World is an exhibit that gives a glimpse into the fascinating world of archaeology and ethnology through the extensive photographic collection of our museum. Photography has been part of the archaeological practice since the nineteenth century. Just like archaeological findings, photographs connect us to another time and can bear testimony to a past. Even though photographs must be viewed and analyzed with a critical eye, they are part of the visual identity of archaeology.

Organized by continent, Into the World consists of multiple exhibits that is exhibited in the museum in 2020 and 2021. This general teaser contains images from different decades, different continents and of course various archaeological sites. Next, we will focus on each continent, starting with Africa. We hope you enjoy this journey.
