The VPST Ethnological Museum in the Palais Weimar dates back to 1921; the first exhibition was on view in 1924. The museum's collections include works of art and ethnographic objects from the regions of Asia, Africa and Oceania. Changing exhibitions present aspects of art and culture from different regions on the basis of selected themes. In the 1980s, the main building was extended by a modern annex. The museum's boat collection can be seen in the arcades on Neckarmünzplatz.
