Beautiful museum in Munich focused on extensive ethnographic collections from Africa, Australia, North America, Mid and South America, the Orient, East and Central Asia, South and SE Asia, and Oceania. We did not manage to see it all given the size and also the covid times conditions (wearing a mask in those rooms is not very easy as they do need to protect the exhibits with dehumidifiers and other means).
We only managed to see the collections from the Orient, Oceania and the special exhibition on Myanmar. But we will go back 🙂
