Voodoo on Haiti

Post by Puffin13 »

Voodoo on Haiti

A spectacular exhibition opened over the weekend at the museum of anthropology, the Tropenmuseum.

Vodou, Art & Mysticism features objects from Haiti’s most important collection: the Lehmann collection.

Over 250 artefacts, including life-size Bizango warriors, complete altars and ceremonial flags, offer a fascinating view—free of Hollywood clichés—into the history and rituals of this secret society.

Many of the exhibits have never before been on display outside of Haiti.
