Ethnographic collection of Alberto Vojtěch Frič in the Náprstek Museum

Original language description

Alberto Vojtěch Frič (1882 ? 1944) was a Czech botanist, explorer and ethnologist. He made four exploratory journeys to South America (Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay, Argentina, Bolivia), at first led by his interest in cacti, later due to a desire of gettingto know more about life and culture of the native people from the region of Gran Chaco and Mato Grosso. During his trips he collected a lot of valuable ethnographical material from various tribes (Bororo, Kadiweu, Chamacoco, Pilagá, Sanapaná, Angaité, Toba, Lengua etc.) and part of it he donated to the Náprstek Museum in Prague. This article focuses on this part of his collection acquired mostly during his second journey (1903 ? 1905). Based on the correspondence between Frič and his parents, friends,colleagues and the museum and on extracts from his notes, articles and books, it deals with the course of this trip and his collector´s activity. The article is accompained by photographs of representantive objects from Frič´s collection
