Who could imagine such diverse treasures residing within the walls of the Linden-Museum? Here, on Hegelplatz, the Linden-Museum stands as a testament to human creativity and cultural diversity. The Linden-Museum opened its doors in 1911. It was initially established by the Württemberg Association for Trade Geography to showcase their collection of non-European art and artifacts. The museum’s namesake, Karl Graf von Linden, played a crucial role in shaping the early collection. He even invited renowned explorers like Sven Hedin and Roald Amundsen to Stuttgart to share their discoveries and enrich the museum’s holdings. Today, the Linden-Museum has blossomed into one of Europe’s largest ethnological museums. It houses an impressive 160,000 objects from all corners of the globe. Inside the Linden-Museum, you’ll embark on a journey through dedicated exhibitions. Explore the Islamic Orient, South and Southeast Asia, East Asia, Africa, and Oceania. Marvel at a Tibetan altar room, a tranquil Japanese teahouse, a bustling Afghan bazaar street, and a intricately carved Maori meeting house. The Linden-Museum isn’t just a collection of artifacts. It’s a vibrant hub that promotes intercultural dialogue and understanding. The Linden-Museum also acknowledges the complexities of its own history, engaging in the repatriation of cultural objects, such as Māori and Moriori remains returned to New Zealand in 2023. The Linden-Museum encourages a deeper understanding of our shared human heritage. It invites you to explore the rich tapestry of cultures that make up our world.
