As one of the largest ethnological museums in Europe, the Linden Museum in Stuttgart invites visitors to transcultural encounters.
The collection contains around 160,000 objects - from everyday utensils to top objects of international rank. The permanent exhibitions Islamic Orient, South and Southeast Asia, East Asia as well as "Where is Africa?" and "Oceania - Continent of Islands" provide deep insights into the history of art and culture as well as the everyday culture of non-European societies. The attractions include a Tibetan altar room, a Japanese teahouse, an Afghan bazaar street or a carved Maori meeting house.
The Linden Museum assumes responsibility for the cultural memory of humanity, raises awareness of the dynamics of cultural processes in a globalised world and actively promotes encounters and dialogue between people of different cultures.
