Ethnographic collection of the University of Marburg
The ethnographic collection of the University of Marburg is part of the department of the Institute for Comparative Cultural Research at the Philipps University of Marburg and houses over 5000 objects from all parts of the world. It represents an important part of teaching and research and is publicly accessible by arrangement. A significant part of the objects comes from South America and Africa and can be traced back to the collection of the South American researcher Theodor Koch-Grünberg (1872–1924), which his children donated to the ethnographic collection in 1999. The history of the collection can be traced back to 1929, when the first items in the collection arrived in Marburg in the form of loans from the Berlin Museum of Ethnology .
In addition to the collection, there is also a seminar room for collection-related courses. With the participation of students, there are regular exhibitions in the building of the cultural and social anthropology department .
