Aberdeen anthropologists take part in British Museum exhibition!
Arctic: Culture and Climate is a major new exhibition at the British Museum highlighting the effects of climate change on Arctic indigenous cultures. The exhibition features research from scholars from the Department of Anthropology who have collaborated with the museum curators. Staff members at the department, the only UK research unit specialising on the Arctic indigenous cultures and the North, liaised with indigenous Arctic communities, researched and secured artefacts, and provided valuable advice.
Dr Amber Lincoln, Lead Curator of the Exhibition and Dr Peter Loovers, Project Curator, our former graduate students, have been the driving force of this timely and important exhibition.
