Museum der Kulturen

Research

Zwei paar Hände in blauen Gummihandschuhen untersuchen Objekte aus Benin / Nigeria. Ein kleineres Objekt mit einem Etikett wird von Händen gehalten, weitere Objekte, darunter Elfenbein, liegen auf einem Tisch.

Research is the basis of all collections and exhibitions. It offers important and requisite insights with regard to our cultural heritage – in particular also as far as the provenance of objects is concerned.

For schools

The Museum offers school classes age and grade-appropriate workshops and guided tours. These always bear reference to our exhibitions. They are designed to raise understanding for other cultures as well as for our own, and fit ideally into just about any teaching programme.
