Stories from Pitt Rivers Museum with Josie Long | Art Pass Recommends

[@finch45lear]

I’ve never seen anything like it. Marvelous.

[@vixtex]

This one of the most freaky and cool places I’ve ever been to. ❤️Yay Pitt Rivers Museum.

[@owinovicowinskie3712]

Nothing freaky when you can reach out in it..

[@owinovicowinskie3712]

I see many artifacts I 👁‍🗨 connect to.

[@anthealogan777]

First went when I was 12! Favourite museum.

[@garychynne1377]

love our ancestors

[@blanco4548]

The pit rivers is def one of my fav museums in the whole world fosho

[@Northernfire]

Wow! Like walking into someone's cabinet of curiosities !

[@GR-sg2lv]

Some of the comments are made without acurate historical context, for example when the original collector found item A in country B in 1750 as an example it would have been the most amazing and interesting item and experience for the collector yet very likely had a difficult time understanding the stories associated with the item because of the language difference. That is amazing that someone risked their life out of curiosity to explore other cultures.

[@kathydavenport4422]

This is amazing I would love to spend weeks and weeks to learn everything in here

[@arazunzun]

Moi aussi !! Comme je vous comprends !! Je suis émerveillé. Best wishes from Paris.

[@ryanbailey9207]

Hello do you have any artwork available for sale?

[@marchofstetter8313]

Thanks for the tour! I'm going to make some new shoes.

[@eddiesroom1868]

The elephant tooth dish is fascinating... I wish it wasn't so pretty.

[@ichabodon]

Never knew about this museum. Lovely.

[@charlesflint9048]

Must visit!.

[@Reality530]

3:21 Naga artefacts Thanks for preserving it! Love from Nagaland India.

[@davidcaldecoat7414]

Wow so much treasure from different cultures have to go

[@TheStevenWhiting]

Should mention the creator of the puzzle box in Hellraiser Simon Sayce said the inspiration for the design was from items at this museum.

[@gregoryyoung502]

The Grand Rapids city museum in Michigan always gives me the same feeling ( my favorite place as kid ).I ended up in Wash DC.God bless the Smithsonian.

[@martinphilip8998]

The lie detecting fish is an excellent thing to have learned. I wish I’d had one as a teacher. We had to rig the copy machine to read guilty across a kid’s hand. It was more of a joke than an inquisition.

[@celestebredin6213]

The trouble is already present when you start opening the bottle with any anticipation 👻🤪

[@richiep88]

A comedian I love teaming up with a museum I love - perfect!

[@MisterAppleEsq]

Exactly!

[@teaburg]

I couldn't help thinking of cultural objects as tribes, sometimes tribes within tribes. And we can display who are today by our objects. So varied the world over and by age groups.

[@pwear2528]

Background music in beginning is so annoying!!!!

[@lindaellis9349]

Thank you..this was fabulous...studied here many an hour!

[@griffhenshaw5631]

Why get away from hearing what the person who found item has to say. That might shed some interesting light on the object

[@celestebredin6213]

Let’s hope they never “ improve or modernise” the displays. I’ve seen many museums that have suffered a 60’s make over

[@michael_toms]

any astronomical stuff?

[@tandyjen]

This is almost as bad as peering into enormous, random heaps in a vast cave of thieves. The way in which these artifacts are organized is bewildering...can't they at least be grouped together with others from the same geographic area and continent? Most of all, I'm hoping that efforts are being made to repatriate certain of the indigenous artifacts. A database could be offered and petitions could be considered. Representations or pictures of repatriated objects, and information about their rightful present whereabouts, could be kept in their former spot in the relevant glass case. Good for the museum, good for the visitors, good for present day indigenous communities.

[@starstar_sstkn]

the collection in this museum was largely donated by Augustus Pitt Rivers in 1884- he was interested in arranging things according to types (so all the spears would be together , all the shields would be together etc). while the collection has expanded since then, the galleries are still arranged according to his line of thought. it’s quite unfortunate

[@DaFooling]

This is mostly from the private collection of a single collector. This doesn’t represent world conquest or great unique artefacts but rather a collection of relatively common if eclectic items from around the world. You’re not looking at the Elgin marbles.

[@tandyjen]

@@DaFooling No, you're right, it's not the Elgin Marbles--it's worse.

[@benediktmorak4409]

so, the hunters - poachers - whoever, were waiting until the elephants life end, ? and pick up the ivory? and the Chinese will do the carving? whom are they trying to fool? these things are OLD, long before and CITES or shortage of ivory. so why make up a silly srory? to put their OWN mind at ease? they dont have to feel guilty that they have ivory in their showcases.

[@unbeliever2759]

The “history” we are given is bullshit. If you wanna start from a real historical point, either begin from the great flood and move forward in time with the idea that 13k years ago the world was largely reset.

[@celestebredin6213]

Carved from a tooth or a tusk . Doubt you would make a mistake!

[@owinovicowinskie3712]

Credal of Emotional Reactions emojis. Visit the museum and you Visit the future.

[@celestebredin6213]

Sic Pitt mea culpa

[@The_Deaf_Aussie]

Witches and witchcraft are part of the Alphabets people community? oh Fark orf!!! lmao

[@soulshop1]

Why did you have to mention politics issues like the environment and lGBQ. Stick to the actual history and don’t muck things up wake speculations and with your political views.

[@10thmountainsoldier90]

Lol I know I just watched this and I had to rewind it twice just to actually see. It’s so sad.

[@richardhoward4645]

It seems almost obligatory to connect LGBTQrstuvwxyz with at least one topic in any documentary. Did I miss some announcement? Is that the Law now?

[@DaFooling]

So it’s a gay dead witch… wow we have all learned about history today folks.

[@theaxer3751]

It would be fine to tell this as a part of the object description. I didn't know that these people were treated as witches. However I agree that looking specifically for items that have to do with the subject is weird in a museum that isn't about that.

[@blindfredy6128]

Thank you. This could have been a very good video but no they had to bugger it up with politically correct bullshit.

[@davidmurphy5405]

I was raised by Virginia Long my grandmother. I was nephew to senate finance chair my first 33 ..sound familiar ?

[@penelopehunt2371]

Inaccurate

[@conken5623]

Your push at diversity during this ruined it for me. Why couldn't you just speak about the history of the items, cultures at that time and beliefs? Why ruin it? If you haven't been out of your museum, or just watch mainstream news, hollyweird, and live in same bubble echo chambets, you would know, the world is absolutely sick of your push agenda

[@Kibinishi]

The witch craft bottle is stupid. It’s basically an old urine bottle.

[@janetgies8698]

As soon as she brought up the LBGTQETDG Community I left.

[@1summerflower]

So pagan demonic is hard to deal with 😮 yikes interesting but yikesss!!!!

[@MrShnazer]

More like layers of stolen artifacts.

[@pasteursoukoujanvier1829]

66 And in the vision of 1993, I saw men coming to me from all the races of the earth for a paradise in which the former Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Taoists and Christians will sit together in the presence of God. The Indian, the Chinese, the Arab and the black African will sit together. While the wicked and the proud of the earth, the racists and those who have no humility and love for others and who want a paradise for their religion or church will take tunnels and go to Satan in different compartments, while waiting for the judgment and eternal hell of the Naraka. 67 Today, the power of holiness, perfection, resurrection and rapture is only in the Message of the Lamb of April 24, 1993 that you have received while I am alive on the earth. The power of redemption is what the Words of a prophet of God produce on those who believe in Him while this prophet is alive on the earth. And therefore, the words of Krishna, Buddha, Mahomet, Moses, Jesus of Nazareth, and of the prophets who are already dead cannot give salvation to anyone today. In the walk of the living and the dead towards God, the living prophets and their disciples are the only actors on the earth. And if today, for your time, you have rejected the living prophet of your time who is Kacou Philippe, know that you have voluntarily chosen to go to hell. www.philippekacou.org

[@talhamansuri4205]

All artefacts are stolen and have blood on every single of them

[@thetrainwreck1469]

They should burn those ivory artifacts

[@vettefatty]

a very big rariteiten-kabinet
