Museum Rietberg is a museum of world cultures located in Zurich, Switzerland. It was established in 1952 and is the only museum of non-European art in Switzerland. The museum has a collection of over 23,000 objects from all over the world, including Asia, Africa, the Americas, and Oceania.

The collection includes sculptures, paintings, masks, textiles, and other objects that reflect the artistic and cultural diversity of these regions. The museum has also organized several temporary exhibitions and cultural events that showcase different aspects of non-European cultures.

One of the highlights of the museum's collection is the selection of art from Tibet, Nepal, and Bhutan, which includes religious art and objects that reflect the cultural and spiritual practices of these regions. Another significant part of the collection is the African art collection, which includes masks, sculptures, and other objects from various African countries. The museum's collection also includes Pre-Columbian art from Central and South America, Islamic art, and art from Southeast Asia.

The museum is housed in a historic villa in Zurich, and the building itself is worth a visit for its beautiful architecture and gardens. The museum also has a café and a shop that sells books, souvenirs, and objects related to the museum's collection. Guided tours and workshops are also available for visitors of all ages to learn more about the collection and its significance.
