Vodou at the Canadian Museum of Civilization

Entering its final weeks at the Canadian Museum of Civilization is Vodou, a remarkable exhibition featuring more than 300 works from one of the world’s most important collections of Vodou art. This showcase offers a rare opportunity for visitors to better understand a complex spiritual tradition –– its beliefs, rituals, and materials –– from the viewpoint of its belivers. In addition to its impressive range of ritual objects, Vodou presents first-person accounts from practitioners in Canada’s Haitian community.
