Ethnographic collections
Ethnographic collections are curated groups of objects, artifacts, and materials that represent the cultural practices, daily life, beliefs, and traditions of various communities around the world. These collections are assembled by museums, researchers, or institutions to preserve and study human diversity and cultural heritage. They may include clothing, tools, artwork, musical instruments, and symbols that provide insights into how different societies live, work, and express their identities. Ethnographic collections help us understand and appreciate cultural differences and similarities, fostering respect and knowledge of human history and traditions.
