Shamans and shamanism: terms that evoke an imaginary world of ancient rituals, unsettling masks, hallucinations, and exotic places. But what is shamanism really? Who are shamans and what do they do? Do they still exist?

An immersive journey through anthropology, ethnography, psychology, archaeology, and art to discover the places, rituals, languages, and objects of Mongolian and Siberian cultures that still practice shamanism today.

The focal point of the exhibition is the collection and experience of the Sergio Poggianella Foundation with over a hundred artifacts and objects from China, Siberia, and Mongolia that allow for an in-depth exploration of the theme in its entirety and complexity. The exhibition brings together for the first time three important museums in the Autonomous Province of Trento: MUSE - Museum of Science of Trento, Mart - Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art of Trento and Rovereto, and METS - Trentino San Michele Ethnographic Museum.

The exhibition is located at Palazzo delle Albere.
With a full admission ticket to MUSE, Mart, or METS, you can purchase a reduced admission ticket for the exhibition Shamans. Communicating with the Invisible. You have until June 30, 2024 to visit the exhibition.
