The Cannibal Museum  (9.3.2002-2.3.2003) 

With The Cannibal Museum, the staff of the Neuchatel Museum of Ethnography has dedicated its temporary exhibition to the cannibalistic desire to feed on others, a desire which originally led to the creation and development of museums of ethnography. The collections of ethnographic museums, made up of vast numbers of objects acquired over a long period of time through expeditions in the field, bear witness to the desire to incorporate what is different, or other. The more radical the difference, the more it seems to be appreciated.
   
In order to feed the visitors of their exhibitions, museologists take from their reserves pieces of the world's material cultures. To prepare these objects they use recipes meant to bring to light the contrasts and similarities existing between the worlds of here and there. They prepare a banquet, in which the social union of mankind is consumed. Sometimes they even manage to feed on themselves by exposing their own practices and visions.
