GRASSI Museum für Völkerkunde zu Leipzig
We are delighted to welcome the State Ethnographic Collections as a participant of the WanBel global project.
The State Ethnographic Collections of Saxony care for one of the most important holdings of Papua New Guinea art and artefacts in Europe, with many masterpiece works that illuminate the creativity and cultural depth of the region. This is an exciting moment of transformation for the three museums in Leipzig, Dresden, and Herrnhut, marked by bold projects such as the reorganization of the Herrnhut displays and the visionary REINVENTING GRASSI initiative.
Conceived as a “Network Museum,” this concept brings different voices into dialogue, enables new regional connections, and rethinks how global collections can be shared and understood. Through these innovative approaches, the Collections are setting a new standard for how museums engage with heritage in ways that are both deeply respectful and forward-looking.
