Renowned for its critical and daring exhibitions, the Musée d'ethnographie de Neuchâtel (MEN) mobilizes art objects, classical ethnology or industrial production. At once theatrical, surprising and offbeat, these stagings invite us to reflect on contemporary society, in a constant back-and-forth between here and elsewhere.
Its reference exhibition, The Impermanence of Things, offers eight contrasting views of the collections, the history of the Museum and that of ethnology, while bringing the subject back to contemporary issues. The designers thus remind us that the meaning of objects never ceases to change according to the periods, the exchanges and the views brought to them.
One of these views is presented in the one-time exhibition: Ichoumamini, which recalls Jean Gabus' mission among the "Caribou Eskimos" of Hudson Bay in 1938-1939.
