Different ethnic groups and civilizations from around the world are described and explained through displays of their everyday objects, clothes, weapons and ceremonial practices. The collections are divided into geographical areas, with rooms devoted to the Philippines (the most important), Asia (Hindu, Buddhist and Islamic artefacts), Africa (tribal artefacts from north and south) and America (with exhibits collected during the 1862-65 Pacific Expedition). The building itself is an official heritage site.
