Parade of Peoples
Within the frames of the Russian Year in the Chinese People's republic the exhibition of the Russian Museum of Ethnography "Parade of Peoples" has been opened on September, 30 in the Museum of World Art in Beijing and will be on display till November'19. From December, 12 till January, 12, 2007 the exhibition will be held in the Town Museum of Tianjin. The exhibition is dedicated to the peoples who inhabited the territory of Russia in early 20 c and participated in formation of the Eurasian cultural space. Each people - and there are more than 100 peoples - is represented with those objects of material culture - costumes, implements, utensils - which are attributes of this particular ethnos.
Main exhibition units are arranged according to the geographic principle. Ethnic and cultural areas are marked out: European, Siberian, Central Asian and Caucasian. Such structure give an opportunity not only to represent each people in its cultural originality but also to show those features which were common to several ethnoses and appeared because these ethnoses lived in similar natural and climatic conditions, were neighbors for a long period of time and had similar historic fates.
In the introductory part of the exhibition one can see the map of the Russian Empire and illustrations which help to comprehend the Russian ethnographic reality of 19 c and at the same time allow to judge upon the ideas of the contemporaries on still living at that time traditions of the numerous Russian ethnoses
