Ethnographic Museum (Antwerpen, 11-9-2005)

I have ofcourse been here several times before but it's always nice to check their permanent collection (for free ;-p).

It's not a very big museum and the walls definitely need redecorating (they are an unclear greenish grey) but they have nice objects from many places.
The permanent collection for Asia has the best objects and America is nice too but a bit haphazard.

The best time to visit this museum is when they have a special exhibit because they are always very worthwhile. I have seen a brilliant one on precolumbian Mexican westcoast objects and the last one we visited about Asian bronzes was extremely beautiful too. So now we wait for the next exhibit ;-)
