The museum celebrates 150 this year. The company is celebrating its 50th birthday with a new slogan<strong>: &#8220;Weltoffen seit 1862<\/strong>&#8221; (&#8220;<strong>Open to the world since 1862<\/strong>&#8220;). Given the close involvement of ethnologists with colonial conquest and exploitation as well as with race theory, such a slogan is more than cynical. While most ethnological museums refuse to return so-called collection items to their countries of origin, Munich&#8217;s Museum of Ethnology is celebrating its birthday with an exhibition<a title=\"Network exotic\" href=\"http:\/\/www.voelkerkundemuseum-muenchen.de\/inhalt\/downloads\/Flyer_Netzwerk_Exotik.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">entitled &#8220;Network Exoticism<\/a>&#8220;.

Through its cosmopolitan slogan, the Ethnological Museum actively rewrites history and denounces its own entanglement in violent history.<\/p>\n<p>A week later in G\u00f6ttingen, we stopped by the <a title=\"University of G\u00f6ttingen: Institute of Zoology and Anthropology\" href=\"http:\/\/www.uni-goettingen.de\/de\/116453.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Institute of Zoology and Anthropology<\/a>.
