In the autumn of 2010, 15 years later, the ethnological museum of Rautenstrauch-Joest-Museum, which is now in the neighborhood of the Schnütgen Museum, was reopened in Cologne. The latter is dedicated to the art of the Middle Ages and today forms a single complex with the newly opened museum of Rautenstrauch-Jost. More than 60,000 artifacts, over 100,000 photographs are collected here, and about 40,000 monographs and magazines are stored in the library fund.

The two themes at the heart of the exposition are awareness of the world and its construction. Visitors are told about what drives people, about the role of religion, about rituals of farewells to the deceased, about the treatment of guests or about how women and men get along with each other. A separate section is a real Children's Museum (Juniormuseum) - a small hall divided into interesting children's rooms
