Amazing museum! A lot of interesting pieces. Also very nicely suited for class field trips (treasure hunt activities for the little ones in each of the rooms).

(Translated by Google) It is understandable that one separates from an old concept that embodies a partly colonialist-racist view. But what does the museum stand for now? The museum leaves me at a loss. Above all, I notice that some of the exhibits are missing at once. In addition, the museum still seems to believe that it has to give visitors a perspective. The visitor is not docked, as the lack of interaction possibilities shows. You won't find QR codes, spoken comments in an app or on the Internet. It remains to be seen whether it is modern to show old exhibits on trestle tables and to lean pictures / photos against the wall. For that, everything is confused. Conclusion: A museum looking for self-discovery. The admission price then seems a bit too high. (Original) Dass man sich von einem alten Konzept trennt, das eine teilweise kolonialistisch-rassistische Sichtweise verkörpert, ist verständlich. Aber für was steht das Museum jetzt? Mich hinterlässt das Museum ratlos. Vor allem fällt mir auf, dass ein Teil der Exponate auf einmal fehlt. Zudem scheint das Museum weiterhin der Meinung zu sein, den Besuchern eine Sichtweise vermitteln zu müssen. Es wird nicht beim Besucher angedockt, das zeigen die mangelnde Interaktionsmöglichkeiten. QR-Codes, gesprochene Kommentare in einer App oder im Internet sucht man vergeblich. Ob es nun modern wirkt, alte Exponate auf Bocktischen zu zeigen und Bilder/Fotos gegen die Wand zu lehnen, sei dahingestellt. Dafür ist alles durchgegendert. Fazit: Ein Museum auf der Suche zur Selbstfindung. Dafür erscheint der Eintrittspreis dann aber doch etwas zu hoch.

(Translated by Google) In many places the explanations are too small and not high enough for me. The illumination z. B. in the American area is just too dark for me. I found the free wardrobe storage and the nice service there as well as in the restoration good. I really enjoyed the coffee and cake. (Original) Mir sind an vielen Orten die Erklärungen in zu kleiner Schrift und nicht hoch genug angebracht. Die Ausleuchtung z. B. im amerikanischen Bereich ist mir einfach zu dunkel. Gut empfand ich die kostenlose Garderoben Aufbewahrung und die nette Bedienung dort sowie in der Restauration. Der Kaffee und der Kuchen haben mir sehr gut geschmeckt.

Absolutely overpriced, the woman at the entrance didn't even accept my completely valid student card. Really not much to see, most of the museum is empty, only in the second floor there is actually something, and still really not worth the visit. Also there is an estetically horrible part of the museum focused on how modern south Coreans live a normal life, with ramen, coffee and videogames. What is the point of that? Also I really don't understand why use so much of the space of the museum showing colonialism and tourism in African regions. I also find quite offensive the fact that in the area (quite randomly placed as well) dedicated to New Guinea ecc. everything was dark, with no lights, and weird "tribal" and jungle noises. It really is not necessary, if it's a museum connected to the university it should show some kind of appropriate way to show cultural objects, without make it seem like something far and obscure.

(Translated by Google) I was completely overwhelmed by the museum, the visit felt like a little adventure trip. The rooms are very varied, interactive, with activities for children. Above all, I thought it was good that the museum takes a critical look at its own heritage and deals with exhibition issues that are long overdue, such as the exhibition about female employees in the last century and their important contribution. (Original) Ich war von dem Museum total überwältigt, der Besuch hat sich wie eine kleine Abenteuerreise angefühlt. Die Räume sind sehr abwechslungsreich, interaktive, mit Aktionen für Kinder. Vor allem fand ich es gut, dass das Museum sich kritisch mit dem eigenen Erbe auseinandersetzt und Themen zur Ausstellung macht, die längst überfällig sind, wie zum Beispiel die Ausstellung über die weiblichen Mitarbeiter im letzten Jahrhundert und deren wichtigen Beitrag.

What a surprise. Great museum. Fabulous exhibitions on cultural topics - especially the second floor is well worth visiting with its changing exhibits. Exhibit on Benin status is excellent and will return for good to Nigeria in 2023! Great move!

Very nice exhibitions on Egypt and Korea. Having lived in Seoul for a year, it was really amusing to see the display about Korea nowadays. Everything is explained both in German and English, and there is a mix of modern and classical art. The museum is not so big, but you can spend at least an hour inside.

(Translated by Google) Well, other museums are more informative (Original) Geht so, andere museen sind informativer

A wonderful experience and the exhibitions are well appointed and set-up. The diversity makes for an interesting and valuable experience for children and all visitors. Needs some friendlier personnel though!

(Translated by Google) A museum that attaches great importance to the detail of its exhibition and exhibits. These are displayed on two floors. We were there on the day of the museum and were pleasantly surprised. Since no admission had to be paid on this day, it was unfortunately very full. A big plus is the free lockers at the entrance. (Original) Ein Museum das sehr viel Wert auf das Detail seiner Ausstellung und Exponate legt. Diese werden auf zwei Etagen ausgestellt. Wir waren am Tag des Museums dort und wurden positiv überrascht. Da an diesem Tag kein Eintritt gezahlten werden musste war es leider auch sehr voll. Ein größter Pluspunkt sind die kostenlosen Schließfächer am Eingang.

(Translated by Google) My favorite museum. Beautiful historical house. The "People's Market" deserves special mention. The special exhibitions are varied and informative. Keep it up! (Original) Mein Lieblingsmuseum. Wunderschönes historische Haus. Der "Markt der Völker" ist besonders hervorzuheben. Die Sonderausstellungen sind abwechslungsreich informativ. Weiter so!

(Translated by Google) A modern museum where you can stay all day. Particularly worth seeing at the moment is the unique video installation "In the shadow of Venus" (Original) Ein modernes Museum in dem man sich den ganzen Tag aufhalten kann. Zur Zeit besonders sehenswert die einzigartige Videoinstallation "Im Schatten der Venus"

(Translated by Google) Wasn't worth the entry in our opinion. (Original) War den Eintritt nicht wert unserer Meinung nach.

A very good overview of cultures throughout the world with a effort to understand them not only in the past but in the present.

(Translated by Google) no shrunken heads (Original) keine Schrumpfköpfe

It’s my 7 years-old daughter's favorite museum in Hamburg. Very friendly staff, also at the café, frequently renewed exhibitions and high diversity of materials. We always have fun there. We loved the exhibition on Korean culture as well as the one on "wolves and men". And souvenirs are cheap.

Nice place

A magic place with a calm and an almost private atmosphere. Though the museum certainly does not feature the largest ethnological collection in the world, it always has interesting themes on display, non-temporal as well as temporal. The building as such is worth a visit if you are interested in architecture of the 1930ties

(Translated by Google) Here sits a unfortunately very unfriendly woman at the reception, who only accepted my student ID as such after a lengthy discussion. The exhibition itself was very interesting! (Original) Hier sitzt eine leider sehr unfreundliche Frau an der Rezeption, die meinen Studentenausweis erst nach langwieriger Diskussion als solchen akzeptiert hat. Die Ausstellung selbst war sehr interessant!

This is a review of the venue and not the exhibitions quality. So the only reason I have an issue with this museum is that the accessibility for wheelchairs and pushchairs is a bismal. Probably out of the control of the staff, who are very accommodating and friendly. But it's 2022, provisions can be made to ensure people don't feel like second class citizens. I don't want to use the service lift, nor enter exhibitions through side doors.

(Translated by Google) Many interesting objects. In my opinion, however, the history of the museum's employees has lost nothing in an exhibition. Why are 100 year old paper cuts issued by employees with the indication that you don't know why they were made? (Original) Viele interessante Objekte. Die Geschichte der Angestellten des Museums hat meiner Meinung nach jedoch nichts in einer Ausstellung verloren. Wieso werden 100 Jahre alte Scherenschnitte von Angestellten ausgestellt mit dem Hinweis, daß man nicht wissen warum sie entstanden sind?

A cozy museum with a special, calm and rich atmosphere

It's a local quarter in South Ibie community where everyone is a family. The communal life there is wonderful

(Translated by Google) Nice museum with good exhibits. Currently worth seeing: The video performance "In the shadow of Venus" !!! (Original) Schönes Museum mit guten Exponaten. Zur Zeit unbedingt sehenswert: Die Video-Performance "Im Schatten von Venus"!!!

An original experience. We like everything in this museum. People can witness different cultures and this is amazing.

Very nice place to visit! Specially for the mexican feast of the dead was celebrated there! They have a lot of Space and also a cool Café within very friendly stuff. It is always cool to visit this place !

Very good and beautiful museum to introduce a wide scale of different cultures. The only disadvantage I saw is the labirynth-like rooms, as it's not possible to go through the exhibition but you have to go back in several areas.

I was expecting more from this museum based on the reviews. But sadly, I was disappointed. Most exhibits were in German (to be expected), but I feel it also limits the enjoyment of the museum for those who aren't fluent in the language. Last but not least, there wasn't much to see in the museum itself. If you can't read German or have someone with you that can, your visit will probably be very quick! If you're into history, go, if not, don't go! Visited 8/30/23

Due to the nature of ethnographic museum, but still in my opinion, the exhibition was a bit random. There was an exhibition about skiing from Hamburg to south Tirol, Benin kingdom, Polynesian islands and South Korea. The building itself is very beautiful but if you are in Hamburg just for a couple of days as a tourist, then this might not be the priority. Of course depending on your personal interest.

Some very nice exhibits. Good collection of South American ceramics and Papua NeuGuinea masks. The only problem is that it's really not suitable for disabled people.

Amazing museum. Absolutely worth a visit. I loved how they combined historic pieces with current art/cultural pieces in some parts of the exhibition.

(Translated by Google) Good Korea exhibition, sometimes fascinating objects from all over the world. More explanations and background would be good. (Original) Gute Korea Ausstellung , teilweise faszinierende Gegenstände aus aller Welt.Mehr Erläuterungen und Huntergrund wären gut.

(Translated by Google) It's been a long time since I opened the VÖLKERKUNDE-MUSEUM (old name), today, after reopening a year ago: New name MARKK, have visited !! The building has remained as it was, you cannot change that !!! But the exhibits and the entire exhibition were new to me and very interesting! We were taken on a world tour through the South Pacific, Korea, China, Egypt, Papua New Guinea, Palau and many countries and islands more ... The exhibits are incredibly interesting, give an impression of the high culture and way of life with impressive show pieces and a good description in German and English !!! We had a child of 9 years with us who took an infinite number of pictures with his camera, because the world can be very colorful and diverse, nothing was boring !! We are back for the next exhibition topic !! Worth it..... Due to Corona there is no gastronomy available yet ... (Original) Es ist lange her, daß ich das VÖLKERKUNDE-MUSEUM (alter Name), heute, nach Neueröffnung vor einem Jahr : Neuer Name MARKK, besucht habe!! Das Gebäude ist geblieben wie es war, das kann man nicht verändern!!! Aber die Exponate und die gesamte Ausstellung waren neu für mich und sehr interessant! Wir wurden mitgenommen auf eine Weltreise durch die Südsee, Korea, China, Ägypten, Papua Neuguinea, Palau und viele Länder und Inseln mehr.... Die Exponate sind unwahrscheinlich interessant, vermitteln einen Eindruck der Hochkultur und der Lebensart mit beeindruckenden Schaustücken und guter Beschreibung in deutsch und englisch!!! Wir hatten ein Kind dabei von 9 Jahren, daß mit seinem Fotoapparat unendlich viele Bilder machte, weil die Welt sehr bunt und vielfältig sein kann, es war nichts langweilig!! Zum nächsten Ausstellungsthema sind wir wieder da!! Es lohnt sich..... Corona bedingt ist noch keine Gastronomie vorhanden...

(Translated by Google) Very nice (Original) Sehr schön

(Translated by Google) very nice exhibitions (Original) sehr schöne Ausstellungen

Has been through a modernization recently and is much more engaging. Good English translations for most items. Special multi media exhibit "in the shadow of venus" on the first contact between Europeans and New Zealander islanders is spectacular.

I harbour plundering history of the colonial interest on African treasures and cultural objects. But one important thing is some of the objects have been restituted back to their respective owners.

(Translated by Google) Nice museum with lots of exhibits (Original) Schönes Museum mit vielen Exponaten

(Translated by Google) Definitely worth it (Original) Es lohnt sich auf jeden Fall

Absolute waste of money, apart from a few small parts. In the Korean parts they have washing machines and rice cookers on display as part of Korean history and heritage.

(Translated by Google) Nice, interesting museum with lots of "sights" and regularly changing exhibitions (some stay forever) (Original) Nettes, interessantes Museum mit vielen "Betrachtseln" und regelmäßig wechselnden Ausstellungen (manche bleiben auch für immer)

Great place, good people managing, facilitating, and importantly, it has great range of items from Papua New Guinea.

I'd like to say it was a great experience and has a wonderful and magic atmosphere. so I highly recommend this place to those who are really keen on culture and history

Large and filled with a lots of different ethnicities history it's a good place to spend 2,3 hours. Texts on the wall clearly explain each ethnic group, their history and traditions as well as relations with others.

Impressive. But why are most explanations in German only?

Amazing diverse collections and easy to navigate through

Nice Location. Special Flair giving an extraordinary and exclusive touch to any upper class society.

The museum is great, especially for kids. It has a small restaurant with two kinds of cake and a few meals (definitely not a great place for eating but relatively cheap) it is usually pretty empty. It has a scientific library in the back which very interesting, even for children. Only downsie besides the food: there is not a lot of staff so you can't really ask questions.

Great museum with exhibits that give you a small (but thoughtful) taste of the world's different cultures. Cute library for a quiet break. Decent cafe for a quick snack, albeit slightly expensive. We will be going back for the next exhibit.

Good

Cool exhibits; a little small for the entry fee and there were several incomplete exhibit halls.

(Translated by Google) The exhibitions on different cultures are very fascinating and stimulating. I particularly liked the many different masks, the original Maori house and the Egyptian collection. Modern and designed to match the culture. (Original) Die Ausstellungen zu verschiedenen Kulturen sind sehr faszinierend und anregend ausgestellt.

Really interesting museum, easy to get around

(Translated by Google) Overall a nice museum, but could offer a little more information (Original) Im Großen und Ganzen ein schönes Museum,könnte aber ein bisschen mehr Informationen bieten

(Translated by Google) In the past few years, apparently for ideological reasons, so much has been removed and changed besides the name that nothing is left of the former ethnological museum. (Original) Hier wurde in den letzten paar Jahren, offenbar aus ideologischen Gründen, neben dem Namen soviel entfernt und geändert, dass vom ehemaligen Völkerkundemuseum nichts mehr übriggeblieben ist.

(Translated by Google) A great museum, definitely worth seeing. Even if the name change (previously the Völkerkundemuseum) is silly. (Original) Eine tolles Museum, unbedingt sehenswert. Auch wenn die Namensänderung (vorher Völkerkundemuseum) albern ist.

(Translated by Google) Always nice to be here. (Original) Immer wieder schön hier zu sein.

(Translated by Google) My favorite museum since I was a child (strolling 30 years). It has a very unique charm and it feels like a home from home. A wonderful library, interesting lectures and great exhibits (Original) Seit ich ein Kind bin (bummelig 30 Jahre) mein Lieblingsmuseum. Es hat einen ganz einzigartigen Charme und es fühlt sich nach einem zweiten Zuhause an. Eine wundervolle Bibliothek, interessante Vorträge und tolle Exponate

It is a grand museum with different aspects of people around the world. The approach is rather un orthodox and you get not only heritage but also contemporary history of peoples. The only thing lacking is history of europeans - museum is only for exotic peoples!

Interesting museum worth a few hours; many different exhibitions from Africa, Asia and the Pacific as well as a Native American/First nations section plus a history of the South American/Meso American civilisations which was quite good. Main plaques in English and French as well as some exhibition specific languages like Tagalog, Maori and Quecha. It is advantageous to know German though as many of the minor plaques are in German.

We visited when it was an open day, so it was free. I thought it was a really good gesture from the museum of doing so! The exhibits were good and extensive.

Great! Currently there is Korea culture exhibition. It's kool! Every Thursday open till 21:00 and every Friday afternoon is free!

Very interesting exhibitions! On Fridays after 2 p.m. the entrance is free which is an amazing thing from the museum administration to do.
