In this digital tour, Matilda Sundström, conservator, talks about man's relationship with the bear in earlier times, the bear feast and rituals related to the bear grave found here at the Silvermuseet.

This year, due to the current situation with the pandemic, Matilda Sundström takes you on a digital presentation based on her degree project.
Thursday, July 1, we will release the show on Youtube, search for The bear - The most sacred of animals
or go to our channel on Youtube.

The tour is also linked on the Silvermuseet Facebook page.
