Nice! Be sure to visit it. Getting to know different cultures, especially old cultures, can be very interesting and educational for all age groups!

I really expected so much more from this museum. It only focuses on a few tribes. There is some information to retain, but not a lot. There are only a few exhibits on 2 floors (4 rooms per floor, if I remember correctly). I wouldn’t recommend paying to see it. If you have Frankfurt City Card or Museums Ufer ticket then you can pay a visit.

This museum has no permanent but only changing exhibitions. So don’t expect a classic ethnological museum here. ????????u200d♀️
Before you go there inform yourself about the current exhibition and if it suits your interests.

I was twice in that museum and saw theee exhibitions: one about Black and Indigenous Brazilians ????????, one about aging in different cultures and one about the portrayal of Native Americans in the United States ????????.
The basic topics are mostly ethnological and often interesting.

The texts are always written in both German and English. The entry fee is okay: 4 Euros if you are a student and 7 Euros for an adult.

Museum of World Cultures did not meet my expectations. A small cramped building. Each room had an exhibit. Either stories about the past or problems on immigration seem to be addressed. and I did not find their approach to them sincere.

The exhibit was about textiles when we visited the museum. I work in a portion of North America where textiles are rarely preserved in the archaeological record. Hence my interest about which items from textile manufacture might actually be found on archaeological sites, e.g., spindle whorls (various sizes and shapes), bone pins, and bone shuttles (or textile swords). The exhibit includes these items. In addition there were a series of ca. 5-10 minute ethnographic films from the 1960s showing various aspects of basic textile production (cotton spinning, cord making, coconut fibers, etc.) and decoration in SE Asia, Micronesia, and South America. We enjoyed the films too.

Small but extremely interesting for culture junkies.
