The exhibition presents the character and academic achievements of the outstanding Polish ethnographer - Bronislaw Pilsudski - to whom we owe the phonographic recordings of the Ainu songs and speech.

The part devoted to the Ainu culture touches on difficult anthropological issues, paying attention to the ethnic diversity of the world. It makes viewers sensitive to the problem of the disappearance of cultures and the still repressive treatment of national minorities.
