The MEB - Musée d'ethnographie de l'iversité de Bordeaux is a Bordeaux museum of ethnography. Created in 1894, it is a historical institution, as it was the second ethnography museum opened in France, after the Trocadéro in Paris. Originally it was called "Museum of Exotic Pathologies and Colonial Studies" but soon the name changed to "Ethnographic and Colonial Museum" and then to "Museum of Ethnography and Colonial Studies", finally arriving at the current name. The collection of the Musée d'ethnographie gathers around 6000 objects from non-European countries, including Asian, African, Arctic, Americas and Oceania territories. The collection relating to Central Asia and ancient Indochina is the largest and most important. The core of the collection was mostly brought together around the end of the 19th century, thanks above all to donations from military doctors sent to the French colonies. In the following years, the collection was then enlarged thanks to donations from the ancient musée d'etnographie du Trocadéro (now musée de l'Homme) and further donations and acquisitions. The collection mainly collects objects from everyday life, often linked to the cults of different populations. There are also clothes, jewels, objects for body care, handicrafts. Inside the museum there is also a photo library of about 12,000 photographs, taken during the ethnographic and anthropological missions. The photographs show scenes of everyday life and objects that are later found in the museum's collection. The museum also organizes several temporary exhibitions.
