The National Anthropology Museum enables visitors to explore the richness and diversity of existing cultures all over the world.
The National Anthropology Museum displays collections of objects and documents that belong to a wide variety of peoples of Africa, America, Asia, Europe and Oceania, mainly objects from the everyday life, rituals and beliefs, war and clothing. It provides a global view of culture that enables visitors to compare and understand the objects displayed and find cultural similarities and differences between them. The aim is to promote values of cultural pluralism and intercultural understanding.
The museum's collection is part of the collective catalogue of the Digital Network of Spanish Museum Collections (CERES), conceived as a space for dissemination which enables visitors to browse the various museum collections using the identifying features of each item (author, type of object, iconography, etc.).
