The Cultured Rainforest tells the story of the rainforest on the island of ?Borneo and the people for whom it has been home, today and in the past. The ?exhibition overturns the idea that rainforests are the last virgin landscapes? of the world and shows that these supposed natural wildernesses have in fact ?been shaped by humans for 50,000 years. We explore how the people of the? rainforest have made it their home: a world full of meaning and surprise, with ?its own rich histories unfolding over thousands of years.
Built around a full-scale reconstruction of a hearth from a? longhouse, the centre of Kelabit domestic life, the exhibition features ?photographs and film from the project team and 360 degree panoramas that bring? the sights and sounds of the rainforest.
