Founded in 1955 by collectors Erich Zschocke and Kurt Herberts, the museum began as Herbig-Haarhaus-Lacquer Museum before BASF acquired it in 1968.

The collection features Japanese makie lacquerware, Chinese carved pieces, and Korean mother-of-pearl inlay works spanning two millennia of craftsmanship.
