(ETHEU 066319) and the representation of Saint Mary Magdalen, or Saint Mary of Egypt (ETHEU 100046), which dates to the second half of the eighteenth century and which the museum takes particular pride in showing. By the end of his visit to the MEG, the visitor will have explored hundreds of cultures on five continents through their religious and profane practices that span a centuries long period. These “archives of human diversity” will be the workplace for the new museum staff, which is devoted to research, scientific study, and the development of intercultural understanding. Its goal is to offer the museum’s audience rich and varied visits through temporary exhibitions, workshops, and lectures that will address the issues of our time. The programming will be enhanced with the presentation of many kinds of cultural events, including concerts and film screenings. E-MEG, a digital information system that will allow visitors to further explore the collection and hone their knowledge, will also be launched. For this website, the museum’s staff has prepared analytical texts, biographies, photographic archives, films, and music. It will also include indispensable bibliographic references that alone can enable visitors to fully understand the history and social reality of the cultures whose material works are exhibited. The adventure begins on October 31. Welcome to our new museum! 85 FIG. 20 (left): Shrunken head, tsantsa. Shuar, Pastaza province, Ecuador. Early 20th century.
