ANOTHER HISTORY OF THE WORLD

Wednesday November 8 , to Monday March 11, 2024

The Mucem offers a journey through world history from the 13th to the 21st century, abandoning the Western perspective. The exhibition presents more than 150 works and objects from public and private collections

The travels and explorations of Arab, Asian or African merchants, pilgrims and scholars who “discovered” distant lands and produced new knowledge would disrupt the traditional conceptions of the world. African cowrie shells like Chinese navigation maps forcefully remind us that globalization was multipolar, in Central Asia, in the Indian Ocean and well beyond. With the progressive decompartmentalization of the globe, Europeans themselves become the subjects of numerous and sometimes confusing representations

WHAT'S NEW.

The exhibition of 1,200 objects and documents (from the Mucem's historical funds or acquired by the museum ) is designed to highlight the human character of the objects and testimonies An immersive digital mediation device evokes the idea of "popular culture" which irrigates this collections.“ The Mucem aims to place itself at the border of the social and the intimate .

YOUNG DESIGNER FROM NORTH MACEDONIA

STEFAN TANKOV

The general situation in the region is that many cultural institutions don’t see important value in having a well-thought-out visual identity. They focus on putting up decent programming and not much on building an audience,’ Stefan Tankov.

YOUNG DESIGNER FROM SERBIA

"This project encompassed every phase of redesign and in-dept research, which I believe is not the case in working with every cultural institution, " Julija Rdosavljević.

YOUNG DESIGNER FROM MONTENEGRO
SNEŽANA BULATOVIĆ

Thanks to this project, a turn has been made in their external communication, so now these contents are much more accessible to a younger audience than years ago, Snežana Bulatović.
