Opening of an exhibition
2017.11.20 -
On the 30. October 2017 there was an opening of a traveling exhibition „Barbarian Tsunami” in National Museum in Szczecin.
The exhibition is to be presented in twelve museums in Poland starting from the end of October 2017 to March 2020. It combines traditional display, where the objects play a crucial role, with modern technologies which, in a dynamic yet discreet way, allow to expand information about the period, the items and the results of natural sciences research supporting the reconstruction of the past settlement.
A selection of the most important objects from the Odra and the Vistula river basin region, supplemented with a few finds from the Black Sea region and the territory of today’s France, is displayed on the joint exhibition which is based on collections compiled by Polish museums. Most of the objects come from hoards and richly furnished graves. They illustrate the presence of various communities on the territory of Poland as well as their role in cultural exchange and transformations of the Migration Period against a background of events that happened before this period (the 3rd and the 4th century) and afterwards (the 6th and 7th century).
The exhibition has been organised by the National Museum in Szczecin and the University of Warsaw in a cooperation with eleven museums. It is also the outcome of the National Science Centre-funded Maestro project “The Migration Period between the Odra and the Vistula” (http://www.mpov.uw.edu.pl/) which has been run in the recent years at the University of Warsaw by a group of Polish researches in a collaboration with fellow researchers from other European countries.
