On of the earth's coldest regions, the Arctic and its indigenous peoples, come under the spotlight at a major British Museum exhibition this spring. Select tools and clothing, artworks and objects used in everyday life are displayed to show how these resilient communities have lived in one of the most dramatic environments on the planet for nearly 30,000 years. Rare objects include 28,000 year old archaeological finds excavated from the thawing ground in Siberia and an 8-piece Igloolik winter costume made of caribou fur. The exhibition reveals the great diversity of cultures and the effect of global warming, showing how communities respond to dramatic shifts in the changing landscape in the most northern region of the world.
About British Museum
If you wanted to thoroughly explore the British Museum, it would take months, if not years. Over seven millions objects from all over the world are housed in this impressive museum of human history and culture (many of the artefacts are stored underneath the museum due to lack of space).
