Museum der Alltagskultur, Ethnographic museum in Schloss Waldenbuch, Germany.

The Museum der Alltagskultur occupies 2,500 m² on three floors of Schloss Waldenbuch near Stuttgart. Its folkloric collection, rooted in the former Landesgewerbemuseum in Stuttgart, spans objects from the 16th century to the present, with a regional focus on Württemberg. Sections cover work and goods, clothing, advertising and brand products, faith and superstition, folk and amateur art, and living worlds from the 18th century onward.

The Museum der Alltagskultur has been an independent institution since 1989/90, housed in Schloss Waldenbuch, a former ducal hunting castle that remained the centre of Württemberg hunting until the 19th century. Its folkloric collection traces back to the former Landesgewerbemuseum in Stuttgart, founded in the 19th century. From 2010 to 2015 the permanent exhibition was gradually redesigned and modernised.

The exhibits display rooms set up as homes, household goods, and personal objects that show how domestic life and social habits changed over time in Germany. Visitors see everyday things from different periods that reveal how people lived and worked in the past.

The museum sits about 25 minutes from Stuttgart in a converted castle with multiple levels and wheelchair access throughout. Visitors should allow time to move through different floors and explore the collections at a comfortable pace.

In the "Zeitsprünge" section, opened in 2011, curators pair a historical object with a modern one under a single heading; under the term "Prestige", a splendid 19th-century Trachtenradhaube is set beside the rim of a modern luxury sports car. The museum café is furnished with used furniture and presents itself as part of the exhibition.
