About
The Ethnographic Museum of the J. and E. von Portheim Foundation (Völkerkundemuseum vPSt) is a cultural history museum located in the old town of Heidelberg, Germany. Situated in the Palais Weimar, it maintains extensive collections on daily life, art, and religion from various regions of the world. The collections are presented in both permanent and temporary special exhibitions. The museum originated as the Ethnographic Institute of the von Portheim Foundation—the only one of the foundation's institutes to survive Nazi-era expropriations. Today, it operates as an affiliated institute in close cooperation with Heidelberg University.
