Revisiting Siebold’s Japan Museum

National Museum of Ethnology

This event has ended.

German physician and natural historian Philipp Franz Balthasar von Siebold visited Japan during the 19th century (the Edo-Period), gathering up a vast collection of resources related to the natural environment and everyday life in Japan, and brought these back to Europe.
This exhibition marks the 150th anniversary of Siebold’s death, providing a panorama of the collection left in Munich, his final resting place, and a reconstruction of this valuable collection from a new perspective: Siebold’s Japan Museum.
