On our various journeys around the world we do encounter the occasional museum dedicated to local culture, ethnology or archaeology. They are usuallu embedded in the travelogues we publish from our trips, but I have brought them together on this page, for those specifically interested in thiese topics only. A broad selection, mind you!
