Museums - Museum der Weltkulturen

The Museum der Weltkulturen was created in 1904, bringing together in the process all the nineteenth-century ethnological collections that existed in Frankfurt at that time. The museum's permanent collections presently number approximately 67,000 objects from Africa, America, Oceania, Europe, Asia, and Southeast Asia. The museum also houses a 70,000-image archive and 43,000-volume reference library. Gallery 37 holds the museum's contemporary non-European art collection, featuring works of Indian, African, Oceanic, and Indonesian origin which are still nearly unknown in Europe.
