The vast American continents encompass a variety of natural environments. Adapting to their surroundings, people have obtained and produced food and developed appropriate clothing. Having experienced European conquest and colonization, the American continents show a unique fusion and combination of indigenous and foreign cultures from everyday living habits to religions and rituals. The exhibition highlights this diversity and historicity, focusing on clothing, food and religion.
