Linden Museum
Linden-Museum Stuttgart
One of Germany's most important ethnographic museums, with a collection of about 160,000 objects from Africa, the Americas, Oceania and Asia.
The Linden Museum was founded in 1911 and is named after its founder, Count Karl von Linden. Its collection of about 160,000 ethnographic objects comes from around the world. Permanent displays cover Africa, Native North America, East Asia (China and Japan), South Asia and the Islamic world. The reconstructed Japanese tea house and Islamic bazaar scene are particular highlights. In recent years the museum has also been actively discussing the return of objects collected during the colonial era. Admission is about €8. It is located on Hegelplatz in the northwest of the city center, about a 15-minute walk from Schlossplatz.
