Happenings

Having closed its doors in January of 2008 after 100 years at its Ubierring location, this important ethnographic museum is planned to reopen in a new building in the center of Cologne in the summer of 2009. The museum's rich collections of tribal art, which include works from Africa, Oceania, North America, and Southeast Asia, will be treated to expanded display space in the new structure––a boon for tribal art enthusiasts and scholars, as these important collections have seldom been exhibited, and have been made visible to the public only through a small number of publications.
