Museum der Weltkulturen - From 1904 to 1906 the German explorer and ethnologist of Africa, Leo Frobenius undertook his first expedition along the Congo and its tributary the Kassai. Frobenius brought back from this journey not only extensive ethnographic material but also more than one hundred stereoscopic glass plates. 

Duration: ends April 30th 2006

For many years, the glass negatives were stored in archives and forgotten. Subsequent to elaborate treatment and one hundred years after they were produced, a selection of the glass plates has now been made available and can be viewed in stereo and in large format. In addition to exhibiting fascinating spatial illusion they show scenes of the Congo from the perspective of contemporary colonial discourse.
