Welcome

With the new exhibition format workspace series we rise to the current challenges that our collections present, and ask ourselves – and you – what do we want to know, and why?

Our museum is located in downtown Zurich near Paradeplatz/Bahnhofstrasse in the University of Zurich’s Old Botanical Garden. Open Tuesday to Sunday, free admission.

We are the Ethnographic Museum at the University of Zurich. The main focus of our exhibitions and our research are human competences and skill.
