Musée d'ethnographie de Neuchâtel, Ethnographic museum in Neuchâtel, Switzerland

The museum contains 50,000 artifacts from different regions of the world, with half of the collection representing African cultures and traditions.

Founded in 1904 after James-Ferdinand de Pury donated his villa on Saint-Nicolas's hill to create a space for ethnographic collections.

The museum displays items gathered through scientific expeditions, diplomatic gifts, and contributions from travelers who documented various societies worldwide.

Located in a historic villa with additional modern buildings, the museum opens from Tuesday to Sunday between 10:00 AM and 5:00 PM.

The institution features the Black Box exhibition space, completed in 1955, which contains a large fresco created by Swiss artist Hans Erni.
