This Museum was on of the best I've ever been to, both here and in the U.S. While it may lack the immensity of, say, The Met in N.Y.C., it makes up for it in detailed, *extremely* well presented exhibits on culture. IF YOU DON'T SPEAK GERMAN then no worries!!! A great deal of the information is presented in English and is all very well written and informative! It's split into two halves, one of which is dedicated to Medieval sculptures and works, the other is worldwide. BOTH are awesome and I would highly, highly recommend the combined ticket. The only thing that needs work is the gift shop: whereas for example Der Dom has *everything* Dom themed, they had relatively generic offerings, which doesn't detract from the experience of course (hence no star loss) but was something in which I was disappointed

Excellent museum - objects from around the world beautifully displayed and there is a lot of context of how they were stolen and culturally appropriated by the colonizers under the guise of cultural exploration. The museum is thoughtfully laid out with the opportunity to interact with a lot of the exhibits. Allow yourself a half day at the very least and end with an excellent espresso served at the cafe in the lobby area.

Nice museum with many pieces from many different countries (apparently with a focus on South Asia / pacific islands. Unfortunately, most texts are German only (or the title is translated in English, but not the body of the explanation), which decreases the interest of this museum for non native speakers...

One of the most immersive and awe inspiring cultural exhibition I've had the pleasure to experience in recent years. Kudos to the show planners/designers.

Awesome! Great use of light, placement, and technology. This museum presented a viewpoint not often seen in anthropological museums: recognition of past wrongs. The items on display are fantastic.

Have been there during the celebration of Dia de Los Muertos. Was quite impressed. The museum is big and well maintained. There are elevetors and toilets easily accessible for all people. The collection of the cultural heritage of different countries is impressive. Highly recommended.
