Description: | Marischal Museum's European Ethnographic collection maps the history of Europe from Flint tools to banknotes. The collections major strengths are: Albanian artefacts (the Margaret Hasluck collection), axes and guns. The early material includes flint tools found in the Dordogne department of France and a group of axes found throughout Europe. The later material varies from medical instruments, lamps and banknotes. World War One artefacts such as: official notices, trench maps, barbed wire and shrapnel, are accompanied by the more visually infamous World War Two Nazi flags. The collection holds 43 guns, which have been sourced from the French, Austrian, German and Belgium armies with additional examples from Russia, Spain and Turkey.
