Siberian museum invites visitors to contemplate their deaths
(31 Oct 2019) LEAD IN:
Halloween might be a celebration of the dead, but once the festivities are over, the gory costumes and images associated with it tend to get packed away.
But that's not the case in one Russian city, where there's a museum dedicated entirely to death and mourning all year round.
STORY-LINE:
There's no getting away from it: here at this museum there are corridors dedicated to death.
The museum - in Russia's third largest city of Novosibirsk, in southern Siberia - is home to 30,000 artefacts collected from all over the world.
And, given it's one of the few constants across all human cultures, the museum attempts to reflect death and mourning as it's observed worldwide.
In the main, these displays come from antique and flea markets in Europe, although some of the items were put together by the museum's restorers and experts.
Anton Kshnyasev, the Art Director, says death is a theme that fascinates people, time and again.
Death is always interesting for people because this is something that is incomprehensible. Everybody understands that people die, everything dies, even inanimate objects, relatively speaking, die, like a telephone – all of a sudden, it is dead, as people call it in their everyday language. People think that coming here, they will get answers about what is out there beyond the boundaries. We cannot give such answers really, but some feelings people do take out from here, he says.
The first two halls of the museum opened to the public in 2012, although private collector Sergey Yakushev started amassing these objects in the 1990s.
The museum devotes several display areas to exploring funeral and grieving rites of different cultures and world religions.
There are artefacts from East Asian, Orthodox, Catholic, Islamic and Jewish traditions, as well as from African and Latin America.
And for guide Lilia Kraskova, that breadth is the museum's key selling point.
(The museum) is unique in its versatility. There are various death museums in the world, each of them having its own specific theme, it can be a museum of death in the cinema, it can be a castle of Kostnice, while we have everything assembled little by little, and people can visit many museums of the world by visiting this one museum, she says.
The Museum of Death also looks back to how deaths used to be marked in the past.
One of its key attractions is an extraordinary collection of mourning gowns made from engravings from the 19th century.
There are more than 100 such dresses, made in a style introduced during the reign of Queen Victoria.
During the period, depending on circumstances, mourning periods could last several years.
Particular importance was attached to jewellery, especially pendants and brooches containing the hair of the deceased, as Kraskova explains:
Many aristocrats ordered miniature portraits, which were later put into pendants, brooches, rings, and other jewellery. Later, when a daguerreotype appeared for photography, people continued this in a new format, but both methods were very expensive, energy-consuming, and not everybody could afford them (and so) it was much easier to cut a strand of hair of a loved one or a deceased person and put it in a special form of pendant or a ring, and thus keep the memory of a person with whom you will be separated for a while or for good, she says.
Among other exhibits of the museum are replicas of coffins of famous Soviet leaders like Stalin, and former Russian Presidents like Yeltsin.

(2010.11.23) 한국문화 알리자..
뉴왁뮤지엄이 지난 10월 이명박 정부의 한국 초청의 답례로 뉴욕총영사관 영사 부인들과 지상사 부인들을 박물관으로 초청했습니다.
지난 10월 이명박 정부 초청으로 한국을 방문했던 뉴왁뮤지엄 이사들이 오늘 뉴욕총영사관 영사 부인들과 지상사 부인들을 초청해 박물관을 소개하는 답례의 자리를 가졌습니다.
뮤지엄은 특별히 이조왕조의 이혜경 옹주를 초청해 한국관을 소개하고 타민족들에게 한국 문화를 알리기 위해서는 많은 한인들의 관심이 필요하다고 강조했습니다.
초청에 참석한 부인들의 발렌타인 생가를 꾸며놓은 갤러리를 비롯해 아시안 갤러리들을 돌아보며 전시된 작품들을 감상했습니다.
뉴왁뮤지엄의 헤더최 이사는 한국관이 다른 아시안 갤러리보다 작은것이 안타깝다며 많은 한인들의 관심이 한국관을 넓히는데 큰 도움이 될것이라고 말했습니다.
뉴왁뮤지엄측은 한국관을 만들어 타민족에게 알리는 기회를 준 한인커뮤니티에 감사하다고 밝혔습니다.
100년 역사를 자랑하는 뉴저지 뉴왁뮤지엄은 지난 수년간 한인 커뮤니티를 향해 한걸음 더 다가서기 위해 한국관을 개설하는 많은 노력을 보였습니다.
한인 1.5세 2세를 들에게 한국문화를 알리는 일은 1세들의 몫으로 더 많은 관심이 필요할것으로 보입니다.
뉴왁뮤지엄은 올해도 하베스트 문 행사를 통해 아시안 문화를 소개하고 주류사회에 아시아 문화를 알리는데 힘쓸 계획이라고 밝혔습니다.

Mummy
A mummy is a deceased human or animal whose skin and organs have been preserved by either intentional or accidental exposure to chemicals, extreme cold, very low humidity, or lack of air, so that the recovered body does not decay further if kept in cool and dry conditions. Some authorities restrict the use of the term to bodies deliberately embalmed with chemicals, but the use of the word to cover accidentally desiccated bodies goes back to at least 1615 AD. (See the section Etymology and meaning.)
Mummies of humans and other animals have been found on every continent, both as a result of natural preservation through unusual conditions, and as cultural artifacts. Over one million animal mummies have been found in Egypt, many of which are cats. (See: Animal mummy)

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Body Worlds (German title: Körperwelten) is a traveling exposition of dissected human bodies, animals, and other anatomical structures of the body that have been preserved through the process of plastination. Gunther von Hagens developed the preservation process which unite[s] subtle anatomy and modern polymer chemistry, in the late 1970s.
A series of Body Worlds anatomical exhibitions has toured many countries worldwide, sometimes raising controversies about the sourcing and display of actual human corpses and body parts. Nevertheless, Von Hagens maintains that all human specimens were obtained with full knowledge and consent of the donors before they died, and his organization keeps extensive documentation of this permission. Von Hagens emphasizes both educational and artistic aspects of his complex and innovative dissections, and offers online teaching guides for educators. He also tries to distinguish his efforts from those of competitors who may have been less thorough in obtaining advance permission from their specimen sources.
