The Museum of Cultures studies and represents the peoples and cultures of the world and records their cultural heritage. The emphasis of the collecting and research activities is documenting present-day cultural phenomena.

The exhibitions provide perspectives into both past and present and the everyday life of peoples throughout the world, as well as in multicultural Finland. The aim of the exhibitions is to provide alternative ways of reviewing the development of the world and also to remind of the existence of small, nearly extinct or repressed peoples and groups.

In addition to the permanent exhibition FETCHED FROM AFAR, the museum annually presents one larger and one smaller temporary exhibition. Free admission.
