Linden Museum, Ethnographic museum in Stuttgart, Germany
The Linden Museum is an ethnographic museum housed in a neoclassical building designed by Bihl & Woltz and contains more than 40,000 cultural artifacts from around the world. The collection spans objects from diverse regions and presents the variety of human cultures and craftsmanship traditions.
The museum was founded in 1911 and grew from collections gathered during the 19th century by the Association for Trade Geography under Karl Graf von Linden's leadership. This collecting effort created the foundation for one of Europe's major ethnographic institutions.
The museum displays objects from Africa, Asia, America, and Oceania that offer insight into different ways of life and artistic traditions. Visitors can explore masks, sculptures, and everyday items that show how people in various cultures lived and worked.
The best time to visit is in the morning when the museum is less crowded and you can explore the exhibits without rush. The building has limited wheelchair accessibility, so visitors with mobility needs should check in advance which areas are accessible.
The museum was among the first institutions to actively address the repatriation of human remains, returning Māori and Moriori remains to New Zealand in 2023. This ethical stance reflects a modern approach to colonial history and respect for the cultures whose objects it preserves.
