The State Museum of Ethnology Munich was founded in 1868. However, the first collectors of ethnographical objects which are now part of the museums' collections, were members of the Wittelsbach family, the Royal Dynasty of Bavaria. In 1830, for instance, King Ludwig I of Bavaria bought a large collection of artefacts from India and Oceania. Today the Museum is the second largest Ethnological Museum in Germany (after Berlin) with a collection of more than 200.000 objects, an exhibition area of 4.500 square meters, and a permanent staff of 50-60 people. Seven curators are responsible for their regional departments. The Museum has its own facilities for conservation, photography and exhibition technology as well as a very good public library. A presentation hall for openings of exhibitions, lectures, music and dance can take 200 people. On the second floor are the permanent exhibitions of the Art and Culture of the Americas and of Africa, on the first floor are the Islamic World, India, Southeast Asia and Oceania as well as an area for temporary exhibitions. The museum is called Five Continents Museum since 2014.
