Second time I'm here, with a year gap inbetween, and it's great to return.
Although I had a fast round through the permanent exhibition this time, I still saw some stuff I missed last time, but mainly I enjoyed the current exhibitions, one about Bauhaus in Sachsen and the other about vases. They have a garden and a nice café, so you can really bring a wonderful half a day here and get a lot of inspiring images.
Highly recommended

This is my favorite museum in Leipzig!!! Great building, great collection!!! Love it!!! And i can learn a bit of deutsch worte there because not everything is translated in English but i prefer to see things in their original language!!

We were so happy that we visited during late opening. Between four and six pm on a Thursday, there were parts of the museum that we almost had to ourselves. The exhibits are eclectic and the design of the halls makes you feel like the explorers who first laid eyes on the artifacts. As you navigate through turns and into niches there is one amazing surprise after another.

Beautiful exhibitions in three distinct parts. You can visit each one independently, or buy combined ticket for two or three parts. The main exhibition is quite large (takes more than three hours if you are thorough), so plan accordingly.

One of the best if not the best museum
in Leipzig. I would highly recommend going there if you are even a bit interested in ethnology and other cultures. Great collection of cultural artifacts from India, China, Japan, Russia, Indonesia, Tibet, Brazil, Mexico and many others. It’s totally worth visiting.

Beautiful museum, truly inspiring. It shows an evolution of musical instruments and human innovation.

This would've been 5 stars if it wasn't for the poor choice of not including English descriptions. To exclude anyone that doesn't speak German from additional information on these beautiful instruments truly is a shame.
