The Musée d'ethnographie de Neuchâtel is a museum of ethnography in Neuchâtel, Neuchâtel Canton, Switzerland established in 1904. Its origin is in the "natural history" collections of Charles-Daniel de Meuron. It has been accommodated since 1904 in the Villa James de Pury, the former residence of James-Ferdinand de Pury. It presents permanent exhibitions on Ancient Egypt, on the Himalayas (collections from Bhutan and Tibet), the cabinet of natural history of the 18th-century general Charles-Daniel de Meuron and the cabinet of curiosities of the 20th century. From 2015 to 2017 the Villa de Pury was completely renovated. The reference exhibition L'impermanence des choses (the impermanence of things) was inaugurated on November 25th, 2017.
