On transitional objects. The Lost – Regained. The Story Continues... exhibition in Łódź

Summary/Abstract: Presented in 2017/2018 in the Museum of Archaeology and Ethnography in Łódź the Lost – Regained. The Story Continues... exhibition was the result of the restitution of artefacts from the non-European ethnographic collection of the Łódź Museum plundered during the German Nazi occupation of Poland. The history of this collection and its creators dates back to the early 20th century and is directly connected with the turbulent events of the last century: European domination in the colonies, World War II, the Cold War division of Europe and its end. Looking at this past through the prism of the exhibition of the restituted African, American and Asian objects, gives a unique opportunity to ask questions about the ori- gins of the Łódź ethnological tradition, as well as the current state of anthropological and museological discussions about the circumstances in which Polish pre-war, non-European ethnographic collections were created.
