- Abstract
Between 1851 and 1958 the Christian Churches lived a period of intense evangelizing activity. One of the most singular means to obtain support for such activity is the ethnological-missionary exhibition. In these shows ethnographic materials of the recently or future evangelized populations were always exhibited, and, occasionally, indigenous people too, whose theoretical mission was to recreate their ancient ways of life. In this article we study the development of these events, their encounters (and disagreements) with international expositions, the form they were associated (or not) with colonial contexts and the differences we could appreciate between Catholic and Protestant exhibitions.
