Museum of European Cultures

The Museum of European Cultures is part of the Berlin-Dahlem Museum Centre. It was formed on the basis of the European collection of the Ethnological Museum and opened in 1999. After reconstruction in 2011, the museum occupied a modern building in Dahlem, designed by Bruno Paul.

The collection of the museum, which has more than 275,000 units of storage, is one of the richest in the world. The collection reveals all aspects of everyday culture and traditional art of the peoples of Europe. This place is not just a museum in the usual sense, it is a cultural institution in which intercultural interaction takes place. The museum has established itself as a place of international communication of specialists in various fields.

The museum promotes the development and continuation of artistic traditions and craft skills. Seminars are held for children and adults, which give people the opportunity to learn more about traditional and modern art forms using original materials from the museum fund.
