The Museum of Ethnography houses 220,000 cultural objects

The Museum of Ethnography, a Swedish science museum, houses a collection of around 220,000 items spanning across cultures. Located in Museiparken at Gärdet, Stockholm, the museum is part of Swedish National Museums of World Culture since 1999.

From 1874 on, zoologist Fredrik Adam Smitt was made responsible for the ethnographic collections. In 1900, Hjalmar Stolpe became the first director of the newly founded Museum of Ethnography, which was an independent branch of the Natural History Museum. The museum was moved to a new building in 1930 and the current building opened in 1980.

The museum's collection is expanding with the addition of a digital exhibition that explores the role and significance of birds in material culture, society and symbology.
