Lonely Planet review for Museum für Völkerkunde
The newly refurbished, Museum für Völkerkunde demonstrates seafaring Hamburg's acute awareness of the outside world. Modern artefacts from Africa, Asia and the South Pacific are displayed alongside traditional masks, jewellery, costumes and musical instruments, including carved wooden canoes and giant sculptures from Papua New Guinea, and a complete, intricately carved Maori meeting hall. The approach is refreshingly respectful of the cultures it presents.
