"Bog People" Exhibit Travels to Calgary
Submitted by Milica on Fri, 2003-09-12 12:55
The "Bog People" Exhibit, which led to controversary when it opened last
December in Ottawa, has moved to Calgary, Alberta, and will open
October 18, 2003.
Last December, an exhibit, "The Mysterious Bog People: Rituals and Sacrifice in
Ancient Europe," opened at the Canadian Museum of Civilization in Ottawa amidst
criticism that it was, according to Megan Williams, National Director of the
Canadian Conference of the Arts, "disrespectful to the dead." Now the exhibit
has moved to western Canada and is scheduled to open October 18, 2003 at the
Glenbow Museum in Calgary. The exhibit looks at mummified remains and includes
artifacts such as pottery and jewelry.
