Rautenstrauch-Joest Museum, Ethnographic museum in Altstadt-Süd, Cologne, Germany.
The Rautenstrauch-Joest Museum occupies three floors featuring exhibits about human cultures, art, living practices, death rituals, and religions from different continents.
Founded in 1901, the museum originated from a collection of 3,500 items gathered by ethnographer Wilhelm Joest and inherited by his sister Adele Rautenstrauch.
The museum displays numerous artifacts representing global cultural practices, including a large rice barn from Sulawesi positioned in the central lobby.
Located at Cäcilienstrasse 29-33, the museum offers combined tickets with Museum Schnütgen for 10 euros and remains open until 20:00 on Thursdays.
In 2018, the museum demonstrated cultural responsibility by returning a tattooed Maori skull to New Zealand after 110 years in its collection.
