Weltkulturen Museum
Weltkulturen Museum
60594 Frankfurt am Main
The Weltkulturen Museum sees itself as a place of cultural diversity and takes a close look at the colonial roots of its collections, which originate from all continents. It highlights global interconnections and celebrates the diversity of artistic expression. The museum develops its programme in close collaboration with international cultural practitioners, diaspora groups and communities from the Global South. One focus is on researching the provenance of its collections in collaboration with partners from their countries of origin. The Weltkulturen Museum exclusively shows temporary exhibitions.
The building at Schaumainkai 29 will be closed from September 2026 through spring 2027 while a new lighting system is installed.
Nevertheless, there is reason to look forward to collaborations, research projects, new event formats, and an exhibition opening in November at the newly renovated building at Schaumainkai 37. In terms of content, the museum will continue to serve as a forum for debate, advocating for postcolonial provenance research and the critical examination of colonialism, while also placing a focus on music.
