Last minute The multicultural garrison of Montone: ''Il Tamburo Parlante''

Beginning from 1993, in another wing of the ex St. Francis Convent, it has centre the Ethnographic Museum Il Tamburo Parlante ("The Speaking Drum"), a multicultural reality present in Italy and in the East Africa. The recovered materials in the exhibition, report some activity of the Italian anthropology museum and of the history of African art. There are more than 600 objects and finds, illustrating various realities of the East Africa, particularly that one interested by the Italian colonialism. Images and photos tell the daily and artistic life of ethnic groups emphasising their common characters of an antecedent period to the separations operated by the colonialism. The photographic images, pictorial and the objects constitute a cultural itinerary that sets us in the optics of the other, in a game of reflexes in which what returns it is always another image of ourselves.
