Default Museum Volkenkunde, Leiden

Don't know how you are travelling, but if by car from the UK to Germany, you may want to detour via Leiden in Holland - if their on-line collection is anything to go by, you may not even get to Germany....

Its about 30km north of Rotterdam

Hello. If ever anybody will stumble upon any Philippine object, kindly please post the info in this thread. If I'll have the chance to be in the region one of these days, I'll surely find time to visit those museums. Regards to all!

I have visited the Klingenmuseum in Solingen several times. It is not an etnic museum, but shows an incredible collection on edged tools from all ages / origins. You'll find pieces dating from stone age, luristan, celtic / viking / till modern times. If you're fond of knives, it is a must see!

More info on http://www.klingenmuseum.de/cms/index.php

cheers

Tim

I remember that they had wonderfull African objects at that time
Also I remember the goods food and beer, and bratwurst sellers
Have they already put a ban on the bratwurst selling on the streets ? there was a plan to do so a few years ago..

A few Indian pieces to follow just to keep a wider interest. You can eat wurst every km or so in some places and to my surprise the the "locals" backstreet pub you can still somke untill next year and enjoy beer. In one way I was saddend that I no longer smoke. I enjoyed the street wurst but I would never buy a street hotdog in London?
