Description
The Museum of Ethnology of Hamburg, now called MARKK (Museum am Rothenbaum – Kulturen und Künste der Welt) is one of Europe's largest ethnology museums. It consists of three collections: the Objects or Artefacts sections covering all continents; the Archives comprising travel notes, diaries, letters, manuscripts, maps and drawings bequeathed by famous ethnologists, geographers, linguists and explorers; and the Photographs including expedition photos, some of which date from the late 19th century.

Instructions & Recommendations
We suggest combining this activity with a walk around the Alster Lakes area and/or the Planten un Blomen park.
Environmental & Social
Some environment impact to run the museum (mostly electricity). Positive from a social perspective by helping spread culture and the arts.
Conclusion
MARKK is a great cultural activity that does not overlap with the more classical and better-known museums; as such it complements nicely the Hamburger Kunsthalle. Whether or not it should be on your agenda depends on how much time you have and your interest in cultures from all "corners" of the world
Key positive
Large variety of cultures and regular rotation of temporary exhibitions
Seldom crowded and not expensive
Key negative
A little out of the way
Suitability
Suitable for all ages and mostly accessible for wheelchair users with some restrictions (refer to Access & Transport section for more info)
