Montell, Gösta :: etnograf, arkeolog

Object description: Gösta Montell, etnograf, arkeolog och museiman. M. studerade på 1920-talet etnografi i Göteborg under Erland Nordenskiölds ledning. Han disputerade 1929 på avhandlingen Dress and Ornaments in Ancient Peru. M. flyttade därefter till Stockholm och arbetade på Statens etnografiska museum (nuv. Etnografiska museet). Tillsammans med kollegan Sigvald Linné deltog han i museets etnografiska och arkeologiska expedition till Mexico 1934-35. Med tiden kom han att ägna sig åt Östasien, främst Kina. Han var bl.a. medarbetare till Sven Hedin under dennes expeditioner. Efter Hedins bortgång blev han, vid sidan av arbetet på museet i Stockholm, föreståndare för Sven Hedins Stiftelse. Bland hans publicerade verk märks Mexikanskt indianliv i forntid och nutid (1936) och "Statens etnografiska museums expedition till Mexico 1934-35: De etnografiska undersökningarna" i Ethnos 1937.

Important to know about the information in the online collection database

Users of the database are warned that some records may include language or terminology dating from the 19th and 20th centuries which depicted people in ways that are obsolete and/or offensive. We are conscious that the inclusion of such terminology is problematic. As an institution, we have chosen to include this historic information in our database because it is part of the documentation for the object, photograph, or archival item. Where known, objects associated with, or photographs depicting, ritual or ceremonial activity have been hidden in the publicly accessible database as there may be restrictions relating to the age, gender, initiation and ceremonial status or clan of the person who may see them. The database may also include the names of deceased persons, which could cause sadness or distress, particularly to relatives of these people.
