From the Himalayas to Ethiopia, from Panama to Papua New Guinea, the treasures of the Ethnographic Museum (Völkerkundemuseum) come from cultures across the planet. They include cultic wood sculptures, intricately patterned textiles as well as collections of photographs and films shot by anthropologists over the past decades. The museum, which is pleasantly located in Zurich’s old botanical gardens, was renovated in 2014. Temporary exhibitions with different focuses.
