Museum der Völker

After a new construction and remodeling the exhibition operation opened on the 12th of April 2013 as Museum der Völker.

Gert Chesi, photographer, journalist and author, had collected more than a thousand exhibits from all over the world in the period of fifty years.

The art objects are the base of the Museum operation and give an insight into the religious and artistic creation of mankind.

Art objects from distant cultures determine the Museum: Stone sculptures of Khmer, Buddha images from many eras, terracotta figures of the Nok, ancestral figures of the Dajak, grave finds from China and old bronzes from South-East Asia are displayed in addition to contemporary Voodoo objects and utensils of animism.
