I am thinking of another visit to a German ethnographic museum. I only want to take a direct flight from London Heathrow or Gatwick as I can only afford 3 nights. Dresden is out. Leipzig is possible, taking the train from Berlin. Berlin to Dresden by train takes too long for a day trip. Other contenders are Frankfurt, Munich, Stuttgart. My first interest is Oceania then the Americas. From the website Munich seems to be largely focused on Asia? Can anybody add any encouraging comments on my best options? There may be other city collections I have not thought of?
Perhaps Vienna night solve all the angst? ![]() |

Hi Tim,
I can recomment you Grassi Ethnographic Museum in Leipzig - it has a great Oceania collection, as well as Africa, Asia, etc. You will definitely spend there a whole day! In Dresden you will find only great Ottoman collection on display and no ethnographic items. I've been in München years ago, but local ethnographic museum exposituion didn't stroke me as extensive... Maybe it has changed since... |

Very helpfull. The Five Continents Museum Munich, does look very interesting in its redesign. It is still hard, stay in Hamburg again, great fun good museum and easy train to Bremen. Bremen museum looks great, wish I had known about it when I was in Hamburg early this year

Thank you. I think I have made up my mind. Stay in Berlin train to Leipzig. Another visit to the Dahlem will not hurt , just to stand in front of that Colombian carved stone again will be cool. This is for Jan 2016
