The International Congress of Anthropological and Ethnological Sciences (ICAES) in Kunming, July, 2008, mark an important anniversary in the history of the International Union of Anthropological and Ethnological Sciences (IUAES). The IUAES was founded in 1948, precisely sixty years ago at the ICAES in Brussels. This exhibition is meant to provide a retrospective overview of the IUAES in the 60 years.
 
The Moscow Congress in 1964
 

The inter-congress in Cape Town in 2005

 

The ICAES through the years

 
60 years has witnessed frequent changes in leadership and venues, which meant that IUAES has been international and active. It is true that a permanent archive of IUAES has not yet been achieved. Therefore it is worth referring back to the history of IUAES. Now we are demonstrating the historical events of the union, with photographs and publications of all the congresses, such as the congresses, inter-congresses and conferences of the committee, along with other aspects of the union.
