Museum für Völkerkunde der Universität Kiel, Ethnographic museum at University of Kiel, Germany.
The Museum für Völkerkunde houses collections of artifacts, weapons, jewelry, and clothing from South Pacific cultures, East Asia, and African regions.
Founded in 1884, the museum acquired its initial collection through purchases made by Kiel sea captains during their trade expeditions in the South Pacific.
The museum exhibits include samurai armor, dance masks, carvings, and boat models that represent different social and cultural practices worldwide.
The museum operates Tuesday through Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM, offering guided tours and educational programs for visitors interested in ethnographic studies.
In 2014, the South Pacific collection became a permanent loan to the Maritime Museum of Kiel, expanding access to these cultural artifacts.
