Weltkulturen - Ethnologische Sammlung
In the organizer's words:
The collection, which was created between 1890 and 1910, is now part of the Ethnology Department of the Asia-Orient Institute. It comprises around 4000 ethnographica, around 2500 glass plate slides and 250 watercolors and drawings. The permanent exhibition in the pentagonal tower of the palace shows a selection that reflects the regional focus of the collection - the Pacific and the Amazon region. Highlights include the Shipibo-Conibo clay vessels from Peru and the Malanggan carvings from the Southwest Pacific. A highlight of the collection is a wall panel - the so-called "Poupou" - with an ancestral representation of the Maori from New Zealand, which came to Europe as a gift during James Cook's first voyage to the South Seas (1768-1771). For conservation reasons, it is only exhibited on special occasions. Important parts of the collection are documented in the eMuseum of the MUT.
