GRASSI Museum of Ethnology

  • Museum/art collection



The GRASSI Museum für Völkerkunde zu Leipzig is a partner of the Leipzig Card/ Leipzig Regio Card.
The benefits are described under "Good to know/ Price information".


Since 2022, the museum has been on the move and shows what an ethnological museum can be today in various thematic areas.

The GRASSI Museum für Völkerkunde zu Leipzig is home to one of the largest ethnological collections in Germany and is always on the move: With exhibitions and programs, the museum engages with the history of its collections and their current relevance.

It sees itself as a place of dialogue, multi-perspectivity and diversity, where people talk not about but with others. With the gradual opening of the newly designed exhibition spaces, new insights into the ongoing transformation are constantly being provided.

An extensive program of events invites visitors to engage in open exchange, conversations and shared experiences. The GRASSI Museum of Ethnology offers activities for kindergartens, after-school care centers and schools for all age groups. The "Family Time" series of events includes workshops and various guided tours.
