National Museum of Ethnology

About

The National Museum of Ethnology lets visitors feel the lingering resonance of inquiry within a space where traces of many cultures blend together. Sacred sculptures carrying the artistic dignity of medieval Europe come together with published scholarly texts to read the identity of the ancient world. The exhibition space, composed through an anthropological lens, leads visitors toward unwavering questions. Within the quiet air flowing through the exhibition halls, many cultural currents move, intertwined. The museum's majestic space lets one view the world not through the eyes of a stranger, but through the eyes of a community. Sometimes, to understand another culture, one must borrow a gaze beyond the human.
