Unless some mad scientist invents a magic time-travel-teleporter machine, the three collections of art and objects from around the globe within the Museen Dahlem are your best bet for exploring the world in a few hours.
Highlights of the Museum of Ethnology include masks and musical instruments in the Africa exhibit, and outriggers and traditional huts in the South Seas hall. Among prime works in the Museum of Asian Art are the Japanese tearoom and a 16th-century Chinese imperial throne. At the Museum of European Cultures exhibits range from Swedish armoires to a Venetian gondola.
