The GRASSI Museum für Völkerkunde zu Leipzig is an ethnographic museum in Leipzig. The museum is part of the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden. With over 200,000 objects, the museum has one of the largest ethnographic collections in Germany.
The museum's collection features artifacts from Africa, Southeast Asia and South Asia. The East Asian collections include over 20,000 objects from China (including Tibet and Taiwan), Japan (approx. 9,000 objects) and Korea (approx. 2,000 objects). The Southeast Asian collection consists of around 11,000 objects, mainly from Indonesia, Thailand and Burma. E. Schmidt in 1890 and L. Reichhardt in 1914 brought household items, agricultural tools and crafts from present-day Kerala and Tamil Nadu (southern India). Further domestic effects of the Sinhalese population come from the east coast and central highlands of the former Ceylon / Sri Lanka. From there come more than 100 masks of the Kolam, a tradition of popular theater. Then there is the Turkmenistan collection. Within the North Asian collection there is an Evenk shaman costume. The core of the Oceania collection consists of approximately 20,000 objects from the former German protected areas of the South Sea in Melanesia, with particular attention to objects from the Fiji Islands.
