Musée Barbier-Mueller

Fodor's Review:

Josef Mueller began acquiring fine primitive art from Africa, Oceania, Southeast Asia, and the Americas in 1907. Today his family's vast, inspired collection of sculpture, masks, shields, textiles, and ornaments spans six continents and seven millennia. A small selection is on view at any given time, displayed like jewels in warm, spotlighted vaults of scrubbed stone. Basement galleries focus consistently on pre-Columbian America, Africa, and Southeast Asia.
