Scientific expedition

	Activity description	Institution / Organization
2010/10/01 - 2010/10/31	Living objects, beyond Museum walls (Fieldtrip to Guyana, South America) One of the principal purposes of this expedition to Guyana is to visit some of the communities (Arawak and Macushi in particular) where Im Thurn collected artefacts. I have chosen these two particular cultural groups, because the main collections which I have been studied, the majority of the objects concern Arawak or Macushi communities.
