Shamans and shamanism: terms that evoke an imagination made up of atavistic rites, disturbing masks, hallucinations and exotic places. But what is shamanism really? Who are the shamans and what do they do? Do they still exist?

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

The focus of the exhibition is the collection and experience of the Sergio Poggianella Foundation with over one hundred finds and artefacts from China, Siberia and Mongolia which allow us to investigate the theme in its totality and complexity. The exhibition unites three important museums for the first time of the Autonomous Province of Trento: MUSE – Science Museum of Trento , Mart – Museum of modern and contemporary art of Trento and Rovereto , and METS – Trentino ethnographic museum of San Michele .
