The
Mysterious Bog People is the first international touring
exhibition to tell the story of life in Northern Europe from the Stone
Age to the end of the sixteenth century, and to reveal the importance
of discoveries in European bogs which shed light on the everyday
lives, ideas and beliefs of ancient peoples. Through artifacts, text
panels, settings, lighting and sound, the exhibition aims to provide
visitors with a full experience of bog offerings and of the bog
environment in northwestern Europe which has preserved these
fascinating relics.
From May 10,
2002 to January 3, 2005, this groundbreaking travelling exhibition
will be featured at four major museums on two continents. The
Mysterious Bog People is a joint international project of the
Drents Museum in Assen (Netherlands), the Niedersächsisches
Landesmuseum in Hanover (Germany), the Canadian Museum of Civilization
in Hull (Quebec, Canada) and the Glenbow Museum in Calgary (Alberta,
Canada).
