Ethnographic Museum Artis, Ethnographic collection in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
The museum displays artifacts collected during scientific expeditions in Dutch New Guinea, containing objects from China, Korea, Japan, Africa, and Oceania.
Founded in 1838 by the Royal Zoological Society Natura Artis Magistra, the museum initially combined live animals, zoological materials, minerals, and ethnographic objects.
The collection represents human cultural diversity through artifacts, with linguist Herman Neubronner van der Tuuk contributing numerous items to the museum holdings.
Located at the Artis zoo complex, the museum held over 11,000 objects before transferring its collection to what later became the Tropenmuseum in 1926.
The museum occupied different buildings, including the Great Museum and Little Museum, before settling in the Volharding building for its 50th anniversary in 1888.
