Artifacts from Europe, the South Pacific, Mesoamerica, Tibet and Bali form the core of the large and important ethnographic collections at Basel's Museum of Cultures, signposted in German as Museum der Kulturen Basel. Ethnography is the study of peoples and their ways of life, which makes the museum a natural stop for visitors curious about everyday objects and cultural traditions across several continents.
Founded in 1917, the museum is listed as a Swiss cultural property of national significance in the highest category.
