The Barbier-Mueller Museum is dedicated to preserving, studying, publishing and exhibiting a collection begun by Josef Mueller in 1907 and continued to this day by his heirs. Today, this collection includes several thousand pieces from tribal and classical antiquity, as well as sculptures, fabrics and ornaments from various cultures in Africa, Oceania, Asia and the Americas. Many of these are regarded as essential masterpieces of great historical value.

Each year, the Barbier-Mueller Museum organizes two thematic exhibitions featuring a selection of objects from its collection.

The four basement rooms each host longer-term exhibitions of pieces of similar geographical or cultural provenance.
