The museum shows objects d’art and utensils from Africa, America, Asia and the South Sea area. The total collection, which started in 1864, now comprises some 25.000 objects and it is still constantly being added to.

Highlights include the masks and other wooden sculptures from Africa, weapons from Indonesia, sculptures from India, bronzes and roll paintings from the Himalayas and a very varied collection of textiles from every corner of the world. A number of pieces are absolutely unique.

The museum was given a special mention by the European Museum Commission in 1991 for its ‘professional stimulating and original approach’.
