Borys was more enthomologist than ethnographer but he gathered above 15.000 ethnographic artifacts
and 1.000.000 insekts, frogs, lizards, snakes… :)
I am impressed!

Borys was before my time but our collections are full of material he gathered from all over the world. He must have been a fascinating guy.

I knew Borys Malkin (He died in 2009 in Varsav-Poland). He all life collecting South American Indians artifacts and zoological material for many museums in the world.
My name is Magda Nierzwicka, I am a curator of Departement of Non-European Cultures in District Museum in Torun, Poland. I am writing my Ph.D: „Borys Malkin’s collecting. Inventory of South American Indians World”.
Thank you for piece of information about Malkin’s collecting
Best wishes
Magda Nierzwicka
