Ethnologisches Museum & Museum für Asiatische Kunst in the Humboldt Forum

Film

With around 20,000 exhibits on 16,000 square metres, the collections of the Ethnologisches Museum and the Museum für Asiatische Kunst of the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin (National Museums in Berlin) provide a diverse view of past and present cultures from Africa, America, Asia and Oceania. The presentation, which in many areas was developed in co-operation with communities from the various regions of the world, raises pressing questions about the origin of the objects, the conditions under which they were collected and the effects of colonialism up to the present day.
